La French Tech Krakow
Welcome back to the #WomeninFrenchTech series, shining a spotlight on inspiring women who are shaping French Tech in France and around the world.Today, discover the portrait of Barbara Wityล„ska-Sล‚ฤ…cz, Deputy Director of Promotion at Krakowski Park Technologiczny. ๐Ÿ’ก ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ ๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ข๐ง ๐“๐ž๐œ๐ก? I have always been involved with information and promotion. For me, it's always an interesting challenge to find ways to make complex topics engaging and accessible. Tech topics entered my life when I started working at the Krakowski Park Technologicznyโ€” and they've stayed with me ever since. Every year brings new challenges, as the world of technology evolves rapidly and we have to learn new things quickly. It's fascinating!๐Ÿ† ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐Ÿ ๐จ๐Ÿ? I'm extremely proud that we've managed to develop support for the games industry at KPT. For me, personally, that's very important, because we organised the first Digital Dragons conference as a small team with almost no knowledge of the industry. The first gala I hosted probably gathered around 200 people. Now, we have a specialised team and thousands attend the event. I'm really proud to be part of this process.๐Ÿš€ ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ ๐œ๐š๐ซ๐ž๐ž๐ซ ๐ ๐จ๐š๐ฅ? We have many challenges ahead: weโ€™re currently developing dual-use technology initiatives, and we talk a lot about digital security and defence. I hope to organise a presentation of start-ups that have successfully completed the Krakรณw Diana Accelerator programme. We are also working on a new brand โ€” Fort Krakow โ€” which encompasses all our defence-related activities. Making it recognisable will be a big challenge.โณ๐ˆ๐Ÿ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐œ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐ ๐จ ๐›๐š๐œ๐ค ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ž, ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ฒ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐จ ๐๐ข๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ? I would have worked even more directly with entrepreneurs. Every conversation with them, every meeting in a factory or office reveals another layer of their work โ€” and behind all of that, we can often find beautiful human stories to tell. Meanwhile, in the whirlwind of daily tasks, itโ€™s hard to make time for face-to-face interactions.๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป ๐–๐ก๐ข๐œ๐ก ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ? Recently, Iโ€™ve been quite taken with the actress Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu โ€” both because of her role as Sylvie Grateau in the first season of Emily in Paris, and because of her approach to life. I think Sylvie is relatable to me as a character in the show because she runs a marketing agency, which is quite similar to what I do professionally. ๐Ÿ˜Š Furthermore, the fact that she returned to acting after many years and found success as a mature woman is truly admirable.#WomeninFrenchTech #womenintech #womeninIT #interview ...
