“We made the decision to cooperate 7 years ago and at the time, this decision was based on trust. The concept of acceleration programs was not very well known in Poland back then. Today - for me - MIT EF CEE has become a synonym for a high-quality acceleration program, in a class of its own. Excellent models have been used in the curriculum, run by a group of experienced lecturers. The reputation of the program and the team's competencies in the field of recruiting startups means that it attracts a huge number of applications from an above-average sample. Collaboration with MIT EF CEE is a great opportunity to gain insight into where technology is heading today and meet the teams that may come to stand behind the technological revolution of the future.”
Get in touch with us – we'll be happy to meet with you and talk about its details.

“Acceleration activity is a key element of “PZU Ready for Startups” programme which involves supporting talented people and promoting innovative ideas.
