Poland to focus on innovation, start-ups: deputy PM

Warsaw took over the rotating presidency of the Visegrad Group – comprising Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia – on 1 July. Morawiecki, who is also deputy prime minister, was speaking in Warsaw during a meeting on Thursday of Visegrad Group officials responsible for the economy.

The talks were also attended by the Bulgarian, Croatian, Slovenian and Romanian authorities. “We want to create a wider platform for cooperation with the countries of the V4. I know that our Czech and Hungarian friends have expressed a similar view,” Morawiecki said.

He added: “We were able to establish the largest public fund for start-ups in Central Europe, which has PLN 3.5 billion [from public funds] and PLN 3.5 billion from venture capital funds. I think this is a good platform for attracting attention to start-ups from all over Central Europe, not only from Poland.”
