The Science and Technology Park of Palacký University in Olomouc has been renting offices and manufacturing spaces and providing consulting services since 2000, making it possible for its clients to use the instruments and know-how of Palacký University under advantageous conditions. The large industrial park in Hranice near Přerov, where LG Philips Display used to manufacture its conventional television screens, now houses a number of firms, such as Etimex, Henniges Automotive, Medi-Globe, DAS, and Rolled Alloys. There are several industrial parks in the Region open to investors and businessmen, among others, in the towns of Šumperk, Jeseník, Šternberk, and Zábřeh. An advantage of these localities is the possibility of having the space adjusted to the specific needs of investors. Šlechtitelů, one of the parks which is already serving its clients, is situated on the southern outskirts of Olomouc. In 2018, the P3 Olomouc Industrial Park welcomed a new renter, the Austrian furniture company of Möbelix, which opened a warehouse in

the Park. Möbelix is another company to have opened a warehouse in the Park occupying a surface area of 2 100 sq. m, after the Dutch logistic company Raben Logistic, which has enlarged its warehousing facilities in Olomouc recently. This adds to the bright pattern of renters who are running their businesses in P3 Olomouc. Another retailer and e-commerce operator in the Park is Kaufland, which further enlarged its storage capacity last October, in addition to Activa, V-podlahy, and Trost, which has a shop in the Park selling car accessories. Other logistic companies besides Raben to rent plots in the Park are PPL, which has a parcel shop there, and the global logistic giant, DHL, which uses a space there as its terminal. Last but not least, the company of Erreka Plast has a rented plot in P3 Park in Olomouc, and manufactures plastic lorry components directly within the Park. P3 Olomouc is popular with renters mainly thanks to its good connection to the city centre and the D35 motorway.
