Technology Parks have been operating in Poland for over 20 years; however, the fact that such intensive economic development in our country is possible thanks to, among others, their activity is frequently omitted. By gathering companies from one industry and the research and development institutions that support them, it is possible to ensure a constant increase in their business potential. Therefore, it may be astonishing that their tools and opportunities are so rarely discussed in public forums in the context of business acceleration.
The sixth and last conference within the framework of national meetings held in 2018 by Pro Progressio, will take place this time in the capital of the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship. Effective support for the development of start-ups, as well as the potential of technology parks as a solid foundation for the development of key areas of the Polish economy, will be the theme of the event. Delegates responsible for the management of the largest parks in our country, representatives of Special Economic Zones, as well as experts in space management have been invited to take part in the event. They will discuss issues related to the working environment and the use of office space available in parks for other purposes, such as company kindergartens or coworking.
The BSS Tour Kielce is aimed at discovering, describing and bringing closer the issues related to the activities of technology parks and economic zones, which increase the investment attractiveness of regions in the eyes of potential tenants and enable them to be perceived as institutions friendly to business development. The sequence of discussion panels and their issues will lead participants through a number of areas where business activities are carried out, thus providing a comprehensive picture of the professionalisation of parks in Poland. Starting from historical knowledge of their development, through a discussion of tools supporting start-ups and business acceleration in parks, and discussions about their coworking possibilities and ending with showing the relationship between parks and economic zones.
The issues discussed will include:
- factors influencing the specialisation of Parks in Poland;
- methods of supporting the development of start-ups in our country;
- the tools, procedures and processes available to Technology Parks;
- examples of good practices for business acceleration;
- the possibilities of creating popular coworking areas in Technology Parks;
- the latest data on the number and potential of Parks and Economic Zones in Poland;
- the facts and myths associated with the cooperation between Technology Parks and Economic Zones;
- the investment potential and further direction of economic development of the City of Kielce.
The conference will take place on 14 November 2018 in Kielce Technology Park and is addressed to directors, managers and administrators of this type of institution.
