Last year’s, fifth edition met the evolution of the Polish start-up scene. The communities interested in economic and technological development met under the aegis of the new name, European Tech and Start-up Days.

Last year, the European Tech and Start-up Days joined the European Economic Congress even more closely. “Tech” emphasizes the importance of technology as a platform for cooperation between companies – regardless of the scale of their operations, organizational structure, or market experience.
