3M joins business and science

Polish engineers are one of the best in the world. Their innovative solutions without investors’ support stay only in the dreams area. That is why building connections between science and business counts. An example of this connection is Innovation Incubator – an event organized by 3M company, which is aimed to members of scientific circles, research institutes and also to entrepreneurs operating in Wrocław area. An effect of good cooperation between science and business is economy development – in region as well as in the whole country. Lower Silesia voivodeship has a long list of cooperation like that, for example special racing bolide, electric motorcycle, or autonomous car, created by members of scientific circle from Wrocław University of Science and Technology – projects supported by many companies and institutions from Lower Silesia area. Among others these projects were presented in Innovation Centre of 3M during special event – Innovation Incubator. This initiative gathered many guests from Poland, including members of scientific circles, representatives of research institutions and enterprises operating in Wrocław and its surrounding, like: KGHM, Bombardier, PPG, Nokia, Herbapol or Koelner Rawplug.
