Twenty-two Poles joined the prestigious NewEurope100 list of innovators this year including folks from CD Projekt, Booksy, and Livechat. The list, which highlights amazing innovators from all over Central Europe, also includes CEOs and makers from Estonia, Belarus, Czech Republic, and Hungary.
From the Polish site we have Marcin Iwiński and Michał Kiciński from CD Projekt, Maciej Ryś from Smogathon, and Anna Skórzyńska from Szumisie. The fact that there are over twenty Poles on this list – more than any other country, is a testament to the growth happening in Central Europe and the ability for the average Pole – or Czech or Hungarian – to build a startup that matters in their home country.
