The analysis was based on questionnaire survey conducted among 300 companies operating on the Polish side and 300 companies on the German side of the border. The research revealed that the predominant type of relationship among companies in the Polish-German borderland, in the opinion of entrepreneurs, was a collaboration. However, the observed real importance of transborder relations was generally low. Moreover, it can be stated that the vast majority of businesses was operating without taking into account the context of the border.
