Innovations Academy: The State of Polish Incubation is an event dedicated to analyzing the condition of Poland’s innovation sector and developing practical recommendations to support its further growth as part of the SprawdzaMY initiative. The event will take place on June 26, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM in Warsaw, at Postępu 14 (FORUM AstraZeneca).
The event is organized by the Innovations Hub Foundation as part of a broader initiative aimed at creating a comprehensive report on the state of Polish incubation and identifying potential directions for its future development.
The program will include discussion panels and networking sessions designed to facilitate knowledge and experience exchange among representatives of public administration, business, academia, and NGOs. A key part of the event will feature three expert panels focused on analyzing startup ecosystems in Estonia, Switzerland, and Nordic countries—countries recognized as leaders in supporting innovation and entrepreneurship.
