Entrepreneurship - Polish Society at Yale - an Undergraduate Organization

#PolishInnovation@Yale

Poland is a leading tech hub in the very heart of Europe. Our tumultuous, yet ultimately victorious nation's history has produced determined leaders who challenge convention. Therefore, at a time when identity is a superpower that is finally being acknowledged across business circles, the Polish Students Society strives to support entrepreneurs interested in our region. To that end, we are a vital part of the Tsai Center for Innovative Thinking at Yale. Each year we host a speaker series which aims to connect students with ambitious founders, business strategists, investors, and government officials who will teach us about the future of Polish innovation. Join us!
