Made in Wroclaw 2024 – Creating a future based on knowledge. They will talk about the importance of technology and education

Bartosz Moch,

On 24th October, the Wroclaw Congress Centre will become the heart of innovation and co-operation. This year's edition of Made in Wroclaw will be held under the motto 'Stage of Knowledge', emphasising the importance of science, technology and education as the foundation of the region’s development. As you may remember, proceeds from the sale of conference tickets will be donated to help those affected by the floods – and the Expo exhibition accompanying the conference will be open to everyone. See the details.

Made in Wroclaw brings together representatives of business, science, education and local government every year to jointly seek solutions to the challenges of the modern world. The key themes of this year's conference are Triple Transformation – the impact of digital, energy and logistic transformation on the future of business and how companies respond to these changes.

Made in Wroclaw 2024. Wroclaw – European innovation hub

The 'Stage of Knowledge' session will also highlight the role of close co-operation between the worlds of science and business. Experts will take the floor to present a vision of Wroclaw as one of Europe's leading innovation centres leveraging the city's local resources, talents and potential.

Triple Transformation – digital, energy and logistic revolution

The modern world requires flexible solutions that support sustainable economic development and take care of the environment and energy resources. More and more companies deploy advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, automation and data analysis to meet the growing demands of the market.

Energy transition is a key element in the context of global climate challenges, which also has a destabilising effect on supply chains. The shortening and optimisation of these processes and the increase of local production are becoming a priority for companies around the world.

Rafał Olesiński, Managing Partner in Olesiński & Partners: ‘As long as we are an active part of the transformation rather than submitting to it, we are safe and ready for it. The challenge is to understand current requirements, consciously engage technology and maintain competence. It is worth sharing signals and experiences, asking, comparing and questioning. This is the task ahead of us in a panel that combines elements of three different transformations. Three, or maybe one? Are they certainly different?’[/quote]

Education as the foundation of the future. Made in Wroclaw 2024

The future of Wroclaw does not depend solely on technology and modern industry. The key factors are education and the ability to adapt to the changing demands of the labour market.

Naomie Verstraeten, Director of Innovation and Technology at Brainport Development, guest panelist at the Made in Wroclaw conference: ‘The transformation of a manufacturing-based economy into a knowledge-based economy starts with educating the people the ecosystem needs’[/quote]

The 'Stage of Knowledge' session aims to answer the question of what steps need to be taken to equip future generations with the tools they need to succeed in the digital age.

Agnieszka Siennicka, PhD, Vice-Dean for Development, Wroclaw Medical University: ‘The university must no longer be associated with a hermetic world incomprehensible to the common man, in which there is no room for modernity. Modern technologies cannot remain in the realm of gadgets competing for customers with marketing gimmicks. Combining the latest technological capabilities with the authority of the university is the only option I can see for the most current and necessary developments in medical and health sciences’[/quote]

An important part of the discussion will also be a conversation about how new technologies can help protect cities from the increasingly frequent natural disasters that are the result of ongoing climate change.

Made in Wroclaw for everyone. All proceeds from ticket sales will go to flood victims

Made in Wroclaw is an event addressed not only to entrepreneurs, investors and industry experts but also to the citizens of Wroclaw who want to see what drives the development of their city.

The Expo exhibition accompanying the conference will be open to all and is an excellent opportunity to learn about the latest technologies and innovations.

To be part of an event that brings together different perspectives and shows how innovation shapes the future, simply register on the organisers' website.

Admission to the Expo is free of charge and proceeds from the sale of conference tickets will be donated to help those affected by the floods.
