On the 31st of January 2018, PLUGin Warsaw will host a discussion panel entitled National Borders of Innovations: Do they Matter? The invited speakers will try to determine whether innovations are global – universal – or limited by national borders and do those borders matter for these innovations?  The event will also mark the launch of the Warsaw chapter of PLUGin, the organisation whose main goal is building a community around the Polish innovation and technological diaspora.

The event is held under Link to Poland’s media patronage.
