Małopolska Start-up Rocket (MSR) is one of the Economic Accelerator’s projects dedicated to the Małopolska Region. It is located in the south of Poland and innovative SMEs play a crucial role in the overall economic development of the region. Małopolska has a rich intellectual capital supported by some of the best universities in the country and an entrepreneurial spirit of local people. Furthermore, Cracow, the biggest city of the region, was indicated as the Europe’s second and the world’s eighth most investment attractive city (Tholons Services Globalization City Index). In 2016, Małopolska was granted with the European Entrepreneurial Region Award (EER) by the European Committee of the Regions.
It is a programme of the Foundation Institute for Eastern Studies from Warsaw - the organizer of the Economic Forum, which for nearly 30 years has been creating the largest business and political conference in Central and Eastern Europe. The mission of Economic Accelerator is to build a place of dialogue for representatives of big business, experts, government administration and startups by organizing events and projects which aim to facilitate the contact between innovative companies and corporations, VC funds and the public sector.
The MSR project supports 24 innovative SMEs from the Małopolska Region in Poland. The main point of the project is to boost the internationalisation of the companies by sending their representatives to international fairs like MWC and 4YFN in Barcelona. In the 2021 edition, 5 companies from the project had their stands at the fairs held at Fira Gran Via in Barcelona. You could meet and talk to the representatives of the following SMEs:
- Planet Heroes - a crowdfunding platform that rewards environmental initiatives and people making efforts to improve the environment and organizing clean up. The platform promotes ecological activities and people who work for the benefit of the earth. It is addressed to two groups of users; Patrons, who by small donations financially support people who carry out eco-activities and document them on the platform. The important factor for building user engagement is the gamification module - rankings and trophies awarded for various activities on the platform and the opportunity to share their ecological involvement in social media. https://planetheroes.pl/home
