|
In Entrepreneurial Poland practical business oriented education focuses on development of passions, creativity and practical entrepreneurship. We endorse development of active attitude, finding you strong sides as well as natural predispositions and building of a positive image of the entrepreneur.
We train young persons in project oriented approach to tasks, teamwork and trust in business.

We create world’s best system of practical entrepreneurial education based on gradation of competences in line with the age of the participants. Education begins in the nursery, through school where children develop creativity, teamwork skills and form basis of entrepreneurship and continues until university graduation, where we reach with complex training activities.

Stage II – Academic Business Incubators (ABI)
|
Every young person shall, at least once, try to set up his/her own business. Thus, we created the Europe’s largest network comprising 35 Academic Business Incubators.
Throughout 5 yeast of active existence ABI has let out over 3000 start-ups. At present, ABI provides assistance to more than 1100 companies. ABI is testing ideas for business in risk controlled environment. Everyone who joins ABI may set up a company within 1 hour and benefit from the ABI foundation status of a legal person.
Thanks to this solution, the incubators not only run company bookkeeping, prepare and supervise contracts but also make available office premises, provide support of ABI managers and even offer financial support after leaving ABI.

Market value of the services rendered by ABI is estimated to exceed PLN 2 600. A company pays, through up to 2 years, as little as PLN 200 per month, regardless of its revenues and the present stage of development.
In 2009 the revenues of privet enterprises conducting business with ABI support exceeded PLN 25 million. What is more important than the financial successes, the participants gain experience and knowledge that will help thousands individuals in their entrepreneurial careers.
