opinions about the community
Listen to people who have been active in the foundation
I joined the Foundation during my first year of university, and I truly believe that nothing better could have happened to me at that time. I had the pleasure of creating the *Academy of the Future* project together with the Foundation team, where I served as the coordinator. I also represented the Foundation in discussion panels at the Economic Forum and worked in the PR & Marketing team, where I contributed to building strategies and carried out projects for external clients.

The Innovations Hub Foundation creates an environment full of passion and professionalism. I’m grateful for the opportunity to co-create projects within the Foundation, which not only equipped me with the tools to take action, but also introduced me to a dynamic startup ecosystem – both in Poland and the Middle East. To this day, I draw on those experiences, especially in areas where law intersects with innovation and emerging technologies.

Collaborating with Innovations Hub was a key starting point in my career. As Head of Business Development, I had a real impact on shaping the Foundation’s direction and launching new initiatives – including the *Young Innovator Academy*, which reached over 800 young people across Poland. It was here that I established my first connections with leaders of the Polish innovation ecosystem and found inspiration in the European startup scene, which today lies at the heart of my professional work.
