The discussion started with the thesis that there are no talents in Poland. Marek Borzestowski said that talents are like other luxurious goods – they rarely appear in nature. Then the models of Israeli and American start-ups were compared. According to experts, the former is based on know-how, while the latter in turn, the majority of the budget is spent on marketing. In the next part of the panel Michał Latacz told his story, in which scientists at the university advised him against further development of the mechanism, but he did not give up and further improved it. He pointed out that there are not enough people familiar with technology in venture capital. There are too many people who know finance, not technology. In addition, it was found that companies that want to work with an investor are successful, while companies that believe that their product is the best one often rely on grants without providing a product.

Finally, statistics were given that 19% of start-ups patent and only 25% opt for protection abroad. Perhaps they need constant support from professional lawyers and, given that most of them export, a cross-border lawyer would be useful.

The subject of the workshops was identical with topic, so it was about cooperation between corporations. The participants were mainly entrepreneurs, people working in Treasury companies, start-up and other participants.

Workshop were divided into two parts. The first part was run by Mrs. Beata from PWC. The participants were divided into four groups. Two groups took on the role of corporations, and two took the role of start-ups. The group’s task was to mention the most common stereotypes of the other side: start-ups listed stereotypes about corporations, and corporations talked about stereotypes about start-ups.

The most popular stereotypes mentioned by participants are:

Then, Mrs. Beata told the participants about cooperation between start-ups with corporations. She highlighted the important aspect of dialogue between the parties and sin cerity in building cooperation. In addition, she stressed that start-ups often have to, before they go to corporations asking for cooperation, “do their homework.” This means that they must have prepared their expectations, requirements, and also have a preliminary idea about their cooperation with the corporation.

The second part of the workshop was conducted by Mrs. Monika from Creators Ideation Lab. The lecturer focused on her presentation on the characteristics of Israel – because she works and lives there – as a country that is the one of the world leader in terms of innovation. In her presentation, she emphasized that Israel is an innovative country, especially in three areas: militaria, health care, agriculture. Her thesis was motivated by presenting figures, which was e.g.: % of GDP transferred to the development of private enterprises. By the end of her speech, the lecturer drew attention to the upbringing of Israeli citizens who, from an early age, were taught to take risks and not to be discouraged by failures.

During the workshop participants were free to express themselves and conducting interesting discussions were held between them and between them and the leaders.
