Visit to the Poznan Science and Technology Park

What needs to be considered when setting up a science and technology park? Meeting with colleagues from PPNT in Poland.

This week, we visited Poland's oldest science and technology park to talk to Justyna Adamska, PhD and her dedicated team about services, infrastructure and business models, as well as the important topics of energy transition, structural change and neighborhood development.

The Poznan Science and Technology Park (PPNT) was founded in 1995 and is operated by the non-profit organization Adam Mickiewicz University Foundation with the aim of funding cooperation between science and industry to activate regional development through innovation, technology transfer and international cooperation.

The tour of the PPNT took us through modern laboratories, conference rooms, technology halls and green spaces. A highlight was the visit to Prof. Tomasz Goslar's radiocarbon laboratory, including a short excursion into Physics. The laboratory for radiocarbon dating that he founded is currently one of the largest of its kind in the world. The results of the center's analyses are used in the work of geoscientists and archaeologists from more than a thousand scientific institutions in 50 countries around the world.

Thank you very much for the warm (and delicious) welcome and the many extremely interesting insights. We are very much looking forward to further cooperation, do zobaczenia!
