Krakow has emerged as a prominent player in the global startup ecosystem, reflecting its dynamic and rapidly evolving innovation landscape. According to the 2024 StartupBlink Global Startup Ecosystem Index report, Krakow has ascended to the 2nd position within polish startup ecosystems, an improvement from its 3rd place standing last year. This is a testament to the city’s growing influence and the supportive environment it o ers to entrepreneurs.
In the European context, Krakow stands out within the top 91-100 ecosystems, showcasing its significance in the regional innovation scene. It further highlights Krakow’s emergence as a thriving startup hub, noting its increasing appeal to early-stage ventures and its strengthening position among other leading European cities. This regional success is underscored by Krakow’s rise in the Startup Poland Report 2024, which identifies the city as a key player in Poland’s overall startup landscape.
The Krakow start-up ecosystem was created bottom-up, based on the enthusiasm of local entrepreneurs. Among the important milestone in developing the startup community was the establishment of the Foundation Supporting #OMGKRK, which for the past 10 years has played the active role of a local community builder, connecting the most important stakeholders in the ecosystem and promoting the local brand.
The mission of OMGKRK is to build a world-class innovation ecosystem in Krakow.
The project is realized with financial support of Małopolska Region and City of Krakow.
