ABOUT THIS EVENT
The ASPIRE University–Business–City Forum brings together three communities — business, academia, and the city — around the questions that define Kraków’s future. This edition is hosted by the Faculty of Computer Science at AGH University of Science and Technology and focuses on digital education.
The digital economy is reshaping what Kraków’s companies need from their people, what its universities teach, and what the city must do to develop its talent and maintain its edge. The Forum brings the right people into the same room for an honest conversation about all three — and to leave with a clear sense of what we can do together.
This is not a passive conference. After hearing from AGH, the City of Kraków, and ASPIRE’s sector data, participants will work in small groups on the questions that matter most. Every group produces a concrete output. The results are captured and followed up.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This event is for people who have a stake in Kraków’s digital future and a contribution to make to it:
- Senior leaders and HR, L&D, and university relations professionals from ASPIRE member companies
- Academic staff, researchers, and student club leaders from AGH and other Kraków universities
- City of Kraków officials working on education, digital transformation, and talent
The session is conducted in Polish and is free of charge.
