ON MARCH 24TH A COOPERATION AGREEMENT WAS SIGNED BETWEEN: GDANSK SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PARK (GPNT), KRAKOW TECHNOLOGY PARK (KPT), POMERANIAN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PARK GDYNIA (PPNT GDYNIA), POZNAN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PARK (PPNT) AND WROCLAW TECHNOLOGY PARK (WPT).

Acknowledging the rising significance of science and technology parks, their impact is pivotal in shaping Poland’s innovation ecosystem. They play a crucial role in boosting the growth of young technology companies. Additionally, they facilitate technology transfer from research institutions to the national economy. Consequently, a decision was made to initiate a collaboration. This collaboration aims to integrate the efforts of five major Polish innovation centers in a partnership manner.

The initiative’s goal is to forge common stances during the consultation of various programs. It seeks to establish an optimal model for cooperation between technology parks. This collaboration is designed to enhance the development of entrepreneurship and new technologies. As part of this effort, the partners will jointly focus on EDIH (European Digital Innovation Hubs) projects. These projects are dedicated to the effective digital transformation of companies.

In addition, the consortium will exchange good practices and knowledge. This will create the opportunity to benefit from experts and mentors associated within their ecosystem. There are also plans of activities to strengthen the skills of the staff of Polish innovation centres and the implementation of educational projects.

We are proud and pleased that such active innovation centres in Poland have decided to join forces and act together. We believe that this cooperation will bring benefits to the Polish economy and to entrepreneurs with innovative ideas.
