Last week, the ICE Kraków Congress Centre buzzed with excitement as we proudly launched the inaugural Kraków Tech Summit 2024! Co-organized by OMGKRK, this event gathered more than 1,000 registered participants—visionary tech leaders, startup founders, and young innovators—all passionate about advancing Kraków’s tech ecosystem.
The day was filled with workshops, the Eco-Citizen Hackathon, meetings in the EXPO zone and WAY UP, as well as sessions and discussion panels across four thematic tracks:
- Green Tech
- Artificial Intelligence
- Start for Good

The AI & Innovation Ecosystem track, co-organized by OMGKRK, was a highlight, drawing industry leaders who are pioneering the future of technology. Our special guests from the DEEP Ecosystems delegation, including Thomas Kösters, brought invaluable insights into building world-class startup hubs across Europe.
