Made in Wrocław 2024 – Shaping a Knowledge-Based Future. A Discussion on the Importance of Technology and Education
Made in Wrocław 2024. Wrocław – A European Innovation Hub
As part of the “Stage of Knowledge” sessions, the importance of close collaboration between academia and business will also be highlighted. Experts will take the stage to present a vision of Wrocław as one of Europe’s leading centers of innovation, leveraging local resources, talent, and the city’s potential.
Triple Transformation – digital, energy, and logistics revolution
The modern world demands flexible solutions that support sustainable economic growth while protecting the environment and energy resources. More and more companies are implementing advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, automation, and data analytics to meet the market’s growing demands.
Energy transformation is a key factor in addressing global climate challenges, which also affects the stability of supply chains. Shortening and optimizing these processes, along with increasing local production, have become top priorities for businesses worldwide.
“As long as we actively participate in the transformation rather than simply being subjected to it, we remain secure and prepared for it. The challenge lies in understanding current requirements, consciously integrating technology, and maintaining key competencies. We must share insights and experiences, ask questions, compare, and challenge assumptions. This is the task ahead in the panel discussion linking elements of these three transformations. Three, or perhaps one? Are they really different?”
– Rafał Olesiński, Managing Partner at Olesiński & Wspólnicy.
Education as the foundation of the future. Made in Wrocław 2024
Wrocław’s future is not solely dependent on technology and modern industry. Education and the ability to adapt to an evolving job market play a crucial role.
“The transition from a production-based economy to a knowledge-based economy begins with educating the people that the ecosystem needs.”
– Naomie Verstraeten, Director of Innovation and Technology at Brainport Development, panelist at Made in Wrocław.
The “Stage of Knowledge” session aims to answer the question: what steps must be taken to equip future generations with the tools necessary for success in the digital era?
“Universities must stop being associated with a closed, incomprehensible world that has no room for modernity. Advanced technologies cannot remain mere gadgets competing for customers through marketing gimmicks. The integration of the latest technological advancements with the credibility of academia is the only viable approach for the most current and essential directions in medical and health sciences.”
– Dr. Agnieszka Siennicka, Vice Dean for Development, Wrocław Medical University.
An important part of the discussion will also address how new technologies can help cities protect themselves from increasingly frequent natural disasters resulting from climate change.
