12 May 2025 was a special day for us. We celebrated 30 years of activity during an anniversary conference at our headquarters and a gala ceremony at the Stanisław Moniuszko Grand Theatre in Poznań – together with our partners, employees and guests who have helped us create the history of the Poznań Science and Technology Park.
As the first science and technology park in Poland, we are proud of what we have achieved over three decades of activity and are delighted that we were able to celebrate this special anniversary together.
The celebrations began with a conference at the PPNT headquarters. The event was opened by prof. Hieronim Maciejewski, Director of PPNT and President of the Board of the UAM Foundation. The special guest was Maciej Kawecki, PhD, who gave an inspiring lecture on groundbreaking innovations changing the modern world.
One of the key points of the programme was a panel discussion devoted to the role of technology parks in shaping innovation ecosystems. It was attended by representatives of leading technology parks in Poland – partners of our Consortium: Wrocław Technology Park, Kraków Technology Park, Gdańsk Science and Technology Park, and Pomeranian Science and Technology Park in Gdynia. PPNT was represented by Justyna Adamska, PhD, Deputy Director, who led the consortium’s work for two terms.
During the conference, we also honoured the founder and first president of PPNT, prof. Bogdan Marciniec, whose vision and commitment gave rise to this unique institution.
In the evening, guests gathered at the Grand Theatre, where a festive Jubilee Gala entitled ‘PPNT is people’ was held. It was an event full of emotions, memories, artistic and musical performances, and a summary of the jubilee poll among employees. The gala was hosted by prof. Dominika Narożna, member of the PPNT Management Board, and Bryan Kasprzyk, journalist at Telewizja Polska.
The artistic setting was provided by the “Operacja Muzyka” orchestra and artists Tony Koniak, Szecherezada Kondratowicz, Szymon Łątkowski, Joanna Dratwa, Piotr Wiza and Staś Chryst. We would like to thank them for their contribution to making this event so special.
During the Gala, Krzysztof Paszyk, Minister of Development and Technology, also took the floor and awarded PPNT for its contribution to the development of the Polish economy. This is a great honour for us, which we accept with pride and full awareness of our responsibility.
We are delighted to announce that the 30th anniversary of PPNT was held under the honorary patronage of:
– Polish Presidency of the European Union,
– Minister of Development and Technology,
– Minister of Science and Higher Education,
– Marshal of the Wielkopolska Province,
– Governor of Wielkopolska Province,
– Mayor of Poznań,
– Starost of Poznań County.
We would like to express our special thanks to our spin-off companies – Innosil and ATI – which supported the event as sponsors, and to the President of the Management Board of Bartex Bartol – Mr Bogdan Bartol – for his material support.
We would like to thank all our guests – those on stage, in the audience, and behind the scenes – as well as everyone who has contributed to the history of our Park over the years and continues to do so today. It is thanks to you that PPNT is now a place where science, business, and innovation come together with the future in mind.
We believe that we have another 30 years of exceptional cooperation ahead of us!
