The Centre Heads Call is organised monthly for members to share learning on current challenges and opportunities.

Each session begins with a live poll to check what’s on people’s minds, a first look at the results of the ASPIRE Tracker, our monthly benchmarking survey of our members, and open discussion on one or more hot topics.

The call is hosted on Teams and is free to all members to attend.

This Thursday, we’re going live from Shenzhen, China – the first in a new “learn-from-other-cities” series as ASPIRE sharpens our mission to make Kraków a world-class location for tech, business services, and R&D.

Shenzhen’s progress is stunning: In just over 40 years it’s grown to ~18M people with a 2024 GDP of ~US$507B (Poland: ~US$918B) – powered by electronic information industries, software/AI, advanced manufacturing, and biotech.

The call will be hosted by Przemek Roth, Chair of the ASPIRE Strategic Board. Przemek will share what he’s seen first-hand building a Sino-Polish business – and what “strategic intent” looks like when a city decides to win.
