Economy Since the mid-1930s Dębica, despite its size, has been a large industrial hub. A number of companies were then created thanks to governmental industry development programs. Most of them still exist today, though they were privatised in the 1990s: • Firma Oponiarska Dębica S.A. (Tire Company Dębica) now owned by Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, previous name - Stomil Dębica • Lerg S.A. - a chemical manufacturer located in the village of Pustków, a village in Dębica County • Tikkurila Polska S.A. (formerly Polifarb Dębica) - a paint manufacturer • Wytwórnia Urządzeń Chłodniczych WUCh (Freezer Appliances Producer WUCh) • Zakłady Mięsne (Meatworks).

Since the early 1990s a relatively large number (in proportion to the city's size) of successful companies have been started and run by local residents: • bicycle, motorcycle and electric car manufacturer Arkus and Romet Group • Sportatut - producer of sports nutritionals • chemical industry manufacturers (paint producers such as Śnieżka Brzeznica and Plastbud Pustków) • marble producer Jabo Marmi and brickyard Igloobud • food companies such as Igloomeat and Animex Poludnie.

Transport The A4 highway runs just to the north of the city. There are two exits from the highway into Dębica. The section of the highway going westwards from Dębica to Tarnów was completed in October 2014. In result, the city has now a direct highway connection with the western Polish border and in consequence with all of Western Europe. A car journey to Kraków (approximately 120 km) takes around an hour, while Rzeszów, the capital of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship located to the East of Dębica, can be easily reached in less than 30 minutes.

Dębica is also located by the 94 country road, which was formerly part of the European route E40. This two-lane road has been renovated in recent years. However, with the completion of the A4 highway, it lost its former significance. Dębica is also connected with the cities of Mielec and Tarnobrzeg thanks to the local road number 985.

Dębica lies by an important railway line stretching between the western and eastern Polish borders. It is currently undergoing an upgrade (to be completed by 2016) for the maximum train speeds of 160 km/h. As of now due to the construction work, a 111 km train journey to Kraków takes approximately 1.5 hours. Between 1988 and 1990 Dębica had been connected with Straszęcin by trolleybus line.

Education Dębica has been home to two branches of higher education institutions: • Wyższa Szkoła Informatyki i Zarządzania in Rzeszów, branch in Dębica • University of Economics in Kraków, branch in Dębica
