The history of our startup scene told through data and stories from all ecosystem players.
It’s a blend of affordable yet highly skilled talent, strong academic ecosystem, and strategic position at the heart of Europe enabling cross-border innovation and scaling.
The technological heart of Europe
A city of many cultures and highly specialized, committed people.
A meeting place for startups and global business. Meeting: connecting with peers in big business
A city with a good standard of living, with a friendly and open startup community (and friendly administration).
Silicon Valley quality professionals, but a better place to live.
Wrocław is a city where science meets business, creating ideal conditions for building scalable technology startups.
Jacek Sutryk
Mayor of Wrocław
„Wrocław has always been a city of openness, dynamism, and vibrant energy. Our great ambition is to become one of Europe’s leading hubs for technology and innovation.”
„We know that our journey is still ongoing. There are many challenges ahead and many first-time entrepreneurs who are just learning how to navigate this path.”
Magdalena Okulowska
President of the Board, Wroclaw Agglomeration Development Agency
Paulina Muszyńska
Head of Startup Wroclaw
„Ten years ago, Wrocław’s star-up community was little morethan a handful of meetups, a few ambitious founders, and a lot of questions about how to get started. Since then, the environment has grown, professionalised and become more visible, but until now it has lacked one essential element: a structured overviewof what has been achieved and what still lies ahead.”
„Crafting this report has been a journey into the heart of our ecosystem. Beyond the data points and trend lines, the most important finding was the consistent, palpable energy of the community itself, a shared ambition to build something oflasting value. This document is, first and foremost, an attempt to give that collective voice a structured narrative.”
