On Tuesday evening, Łódź became the centre of Polish innovation. It was there that the report ‘Polish Start-ups 2025’ was premiered, bringing together nearly 100 people – from founders and investors to representatives of public administration, corporations and institutions supporting the development of the ecosystem.
The meeting was unique – full of substance, honest opinions and diverse perspectives. The discussions did not end with the slide presentation, and the behind-the-scenes conversations showed how dynamically the Polish start-up scene is maturing.
The ‘Polish Startups 2025’ report clearly highlights three key trends:
🚀 increasingly bold plans for international expansion,
🤖 the growing role of artificial intelligence in everyday work,
🌍 global play as a necessity, not just an option.
