Each year, MIT Technology Review recognises the most talented young innovators and entrepreneurs from countries across Europe who are developing new technologies to help solve the most pressing current issues facing society. As the European program continues to grow, the community has gone one step further this year by aiming to compile a pool of 35 profiles from the European Union which will become Innovators Under 35 Europe 2017.
With the support of BNP Paribas and L’Atelier, European Funding partners of the project, these young entrepreneurs will be recognised on September 14th in Paris during the Innovators Under 35 Summit Europe 2017.
Prior to this event, the prestigious magazine, property of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has selected 10 finalists from each of the five countries where the European community of Innovators Under 35 is most crystallized: France, Belgium, Poland, Germany and Spain.
MIT Technology Review is proud to announce the names of the brightest talents in Poland selected among more than 100 Polish applications received this year:
