Poland is the Next Big Tech Hub [Napisy PL]

Follow me on:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this TEDx, I tell the story of how Silicon Valley and Israel became Tech Powerhouses and I argue how Poland is following in their footsteps.

My argument goes as follows: A tech power house requires 5 distinct ingredients:

1. A Culture of Entrepreneurship
2. A High Density of Highly Skilled Workers
3. A lot of Public Capital to catalyse a reaction
4. Large investments into high tech areas
5. Immigration

I am a Japanese citizen who grew up in Ukraine and my fiance is Ukrainian. We want to move to Poland rather than live in Japan and commit our future and the future of our children to the Polish dream. This video expressed the belief I had about Poland's great potential, thank you Dominik for such amazing content!

[aniarapacz-johnston]

I'm a Polish citizen married to American living in Bay Area California. We also see the potential and how beautiful the country and culture is.
Moving to Poznan in few months❤

I grew up in Poland from 2001 to 2012, I was born in Connecticut, United States. I was able to witness a change and importance that most weren't able to witnesses I can tell you Poland is the future.

Thanks for a kind words about my old country. I left Poland in 1974 for USA. I was successful in America and I hope that one of my kids or grandkid will go back to Poland i will be successful there.

Panie Dominiku,
''A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step''
Sam od kilku lat kształcę się i specjalizuję za granicą ale w innej branży, jednak chce wrócic do Polski. Pomimo aktualnych problemów, wierzę, że te dobre czasy jeszcze przed nami.

Proszę tworzyć wiecej takich filmów popartyh faktami i dowodami. Niech ludzie w Polsce ale i poza nią sie o tym dowiedzą.
Trzymam kciuki!

Świetna prezentacja, 'world class'. Po kilku latach emigracji również wracam do PL. Emigracja oprócz nowej wiedzy, dała mi zrozumienie jak wielkie możliwości są przed Polską i jak kreatywnym i cieżko pracującym narodem są Polacy i ogólnie ludzie z środkowej/wschodniej Europy. Jednak możliwości same się nie wykorzystają, działajmy, nie zależnie od branży i sektora, i oby takich ludzi było jak najwięcej. 👊

Very inspiring, coming from an polish born, English bread student 👨‍🎓

[frederickmuhlbauer]

Poland has sure come a long way in a relatively short time I go every year and see it in real time Go Polska

[ozjaszgoldberg]

It's not only about high-tech. Poland have big opportunities as a one of the biggest logistic hub in whole Europe because of inwestments in CPK.

Amazing video. As a person of direct Polish descent, this is inspiring and makes me feel more confident as to why I should move and work there.

[JanneAhonen]

Very interesting speech. While I defienietly knew that Poland have great capabilities, never thought that high-tech might be one of those, in fact I was sure that our economy will most likely be based on logistics mostly, like it is in Germany. It's nice to see that some people still see a bright future in our country, hope you'll upload more frequently! have a nice weekend

I love this. I was 12 when my parents (chemical engineers/economics) left Warsaw and immigrated to Canada. I’m turning 40 this year and I’ve had a software service company in Canada for the past 12 years but over the past few years I’ve been thinking about starting a tech company in Poland. Can anyone recommends any Polish startup networks? Looking to network at this time.

Going for a semester abroad to SGH in fall. Amazing to see you there.

I usually play different TEDs while I'm playing MMO game. It's just a nice background. This time it was this video. Not 1/3 passed and I ditched the game and started focusing on it. Really great stuff. I just love the data and structural approach to the topic. So glad highly skilled ppl like You come here. You're also one of the sparks that will start this future ecosystem's engine :)

[jadwigapomaska]

Great Video dude, keep up the good work :) Let's make Poland the second Silicon Valley :)

[sianoikimari]

I enjoyed the context of how history has played a role in the ecosystem

[seiran]

For me it's unbelievable, that people like you exist with so much love to Poland. I grew up in this country and am still studying on university, but I always think about emigrating as soon as I finish university. I think that living in Poland is good if you have money but you can get it only if you go abroad.

[EmilianaKowalewska]

Thanks for this flattering video! Israel and Poland always share similar stories, especially in diaspora. Jewish and Polish are spread around the world indeed, each with different acquired skillsets, knowing that we both have a homeland each where we could return to if we wanted. But at this time I as a more democratic, progressive and liberal-minded person don't have any intention to return, because our current government is too conservative and anti-LGBTQ. That's just for me though. Other Poles may view it differently.

Swietne wideo. Mam nadzieje, ze zbudujesz Silicon Valley w Warszawie. SGH to najlepsza uczelnia w Polsce i to nie tylko dlatego ze ja tam studiowalem. Pozdrowienia z NYC.
