– I do not believe that Silicon Valley is easy to copy. Rather, I prefer to look for other unique formulations that will define us. For example, we are the leader of Central and Eastern Europe. This throne is still vacant – tells us Maciej Sadowski, the founder of StartUp Hub Poland. The program tells about the making of the work in the National Development Council at the side of the president, and about how the idea of Andrzej Duda and his advisers have to keep young people in Poland.
What would help Poland become a true center of innovation? – We have to be open to talent from abroad. That is, the Polish emigrants who went abroad and still have interesting solutions, patents, inventions, and would like to return or do not know that they want to come back, but in this we can help them – says Maciej Sadowski. Founded by his foundation helps ingenious entrepreneurs in the initial phase of development – provides m. In. financial and technical support.
– On the other hand, in terms of colleagues from other countries, including, for example from the East. My basic postulate a visa for startups, which facilitated the procedure of arrival. If someone is the inventor of Kiev and think about Poland, we should send him a map of Warsaw, Polish all over the map, invitation, and even drive a taxi for him. Our environment must be international – explains Maciej Sadowski, the founder of the foundation StartUp Hub Poland and at the same time member of the National Development Council at President Andrew Duda.
What other ideas appear in NRR? – One of these solutions is to make support programs have emphasized the internationalism of technology in Poland. This means that the company was a Polish engineer, international marketer, Polish or Ukrainian main vendor or even the president. International mix will make people at a young age will not want to leave Polish. They will say, whoa, whoa, Chris arrived from Chicago, Sofia Bucharest, people come here. I may not like that you have to pack up and leave after graduation the first cheap flight from Modlin, because here are great conditions – explains Sadowski.– are competing with Berlin, Vienna, Moscow, Kiev and Budapest, but it seems that in Poland we have a really unique weave of conditions for the development of unique and innovative entrepreneurship – says Maciej Sadowski. Expert advantages of the Polish mentions among other things, a very good geographical position, the presence of the European Union and thus access to a large stream of money. – Besides Warsaw has become a place where you arrive a business around the world, access to great mentors is very easy – notes Sadowski.
– For a man of Delaware in the United States, which every corner has thirty interesting projects, which may invest, to come to Polish, to see seven, eight, maybe ten start-ups is not attractive and profitable. While Poland as the main representative of the region, a new front emerging markets, it is an interesting windfall – says Maciej Sadowski.
– In our region, we have a huge intellectual potential scattered in different countries, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova. Often the technologies developed there really are five-star and think how to commercialize. And we – StartUp Hub Poland – tell them bluntly: please come to Warsaw, we will help to you to knock on the global markets – explains Sadowski.
