Düsseldorf and Warsaw — two twin towns, both dynamic, ambitious, and home to some of the most rapidly growing startup ecosystems in Europe. But what truly connects these two cities beyond their formal partnership? Join us at the Warsaw Startup Lunch&Launch to find out.
This casual startup networking lunch will showcase the incredible energy and potential of the Warsaw startup scene, bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, and innovation leaders from both cities. Hosted in the startup-friendly space of the Polish Institute in Düsseldorf’s Old Town, the event invites you to connect over lunch, exchange ideas, and discover new opportunities for cooperation.
Warsaw is quickly becoming one of Europe’s most exciting and accessible cities for startups. Centrally located and well-connected, the Polish capital offers a unique blend of highly skilled talent, affordable operating costs, international ambition, and a culture of innovation. Whether you’re launching your first venture or scaling globally, Warsaw provides the perfect environment to build and grow a startup.
The city’s startup ecosystem continues to gain global recognition, supported by strong public and private institutions, EU funding, world-class universities, and a growing number of accelerators and VC funds. Organizations like the Warsaw City Hall’s entrepreneurship unit, which supports early-stage founders, play a key role in driving innovation forward.
At this event, their representative will present a brief overview of the latest developments in the Warsaw startup environment.
In addition, three key ecosystem players from Warsaw will introduce their activities, offering insights into how they support startups through infrastructure, funding, mentoring, and international expansion.
The highlight of the event will be a startup pitch session, where ten Warsaw-based startups will present their products, services, and innovative ideas. This is a unique opportunity to see firsthand what is happening in the Polish tech scene and meet the next generation of tech founders from the capital city.
More than just presentations, the Warsaw Startup Lunch&Launch is a space for real conversation. Over lunch, participants will have the chance to network informally, exchange experiences, explore investment opportunities, and discuss potential cross-border collaborations.
If you're curious about Warsaw’s place in the European innovation landscape — or considering future business ties with one of the continent’s most promising startup hubs — this is the perfect place to start.
