C4DI International Director, Bob Spence writes about his most recent visit to Poland in this article.
C4DI Ventures International offers a bespoke pathway into the UK economy through the C4DI Barclays Eagle Lab incubators into the Northern Powerhouse. We have been working closely with Nigel Jones of the UK DIT who has a pivotal role in supporting non-British companies succeed and add value to the Northern UK economy.
I had received a welcome invitation from the leadership team of SOFTIQ a leading software development agency to visit their fast-growing business in Gliwice.
My thanks for the invitation to:
Aneta Wieczorke SOFTIQ Key Account Manager.
Andrzej Plachta Co-Founder & VP at SOFTIQ.
Piotr Żurawlow CEO at SOFTIQ.
I appreciated your warm welcome and also the sushi!
Our time was well spent as we explored business development in the UK and the outstanding Tech opportunities that exist in the UK Northern Powerhouse economy via C4DI. The Yorkshire economy alone is bigger than 11 of the individual EU states!
Back in May business development lead Aneta had travelled to Hull met up with C4DI membership lead Louise Cooke, Barclays Eagle lab business development lead Amy Morgan and Sharon Stathers of UK DIT at C4DI. Tina Swann, C4DI Events Manager, did a great job organising the day.
We had covered the multiple networks that exist in depth and how relationship building performs generally in the UK.
C4DI look forward to welcoming SOFTIQ back to the UK on June 20. This will continue our relationship.
This time the visit will include a day out to the Leeds based Barclays Eagle Lab Avenue HQ, hosted by Chris Winn additionally demonstrating the value offered through C4DI.
