With a population of over 600,000 inhabitants, Poznan has traditionally been and remains a vital centre for culture, banking and commerce. Today, the city's vibrant and stable economy continues to attract both Polish and foreign investment. Poznan is a city with twenty-four institutions of higher learning and has a university student population of some 130,000.
