Jak Katowice budują polski hub innowacji i startupów SHAFT K

Hello, good morning! In this episode of the BSS Without Secrets podcast, I take you to Katowice to discuss one of the most ambitious technological and development projects currently underway in Poland. My guests are Mariusz Jankowski, Head of the Investor Services Department at Katowice City Hall, and Wojciech Maroszek, President of the Management Board of kato.hub. We discuss the SHAFT K project, which is being built on the site of the former Wieczorek Mine and is intended to become a modern hub for new technologies, startups, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and collaboration between businesses, universities, local government, and the innovator community. You'll learn where the name SHAFT K comes from, why Katowice is focusing on the transformation of post-industrial areas, and how the project aims to integrate the regional innovation ecosystem. We also discuss collaboration with startups, universities, research and development centers, and companies from the modern business services sector, Global Business Services (GBS), and competence centers. We also discuss inspiration from international projects like Brainport Eindhoven, the importance of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and future competencies, and how Silesia wants to leverage its industrial heritage to build a modern, knowledge-based economy. If you're interested in innovation, startups, technologies, regional transformation, AI, business development, and the future of Katowice and Silesia, this episode is for you. Enjoy!
