Right after the launch of the special OBC bus, we are implementing another employee-friendly solution
–
carpooling! The idea of carpooling is very simple. If you have a free seat in the car you use to commute to work, you can take passengers going in the same direction with you, i.e. to OBC:)

Carpooling is a plus!

• Drivers benefit because passengers share the cost of fuel with them.
• Passengers who travel comfortably and comfortably benefit.
• By the way, you can get to know each other better and contribute to taking care of the environment:)
• In addition, you will win a parking space in Olivia Business Centre and many other prizes.

So, a few words about the “Divide the car, multiply the benefits” competition, which promotes our carpooling among Residents and which starts on June 1st.

Rules of the “Divide the car, multiply the benefits” competition.

To take part in the competition, all you need to do is:

• register on the cp.oliviacentre.com

  platform,

• specify the route of the home-work route with an indication of departure times and the number of seats available in the car,
• tag your vehicle with a dedicated action badge
• and systematically collect coupons (points) for travelling together at the pit-stop located in Olivia Business Centre (from 6:45 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. vis-à-vis the Starbucks café).

Points are scored for the frequency of journeys and the number of fellow passengers. Vehicles participating in the competition can be specially marked m.in. with an OBC sticker, which is treated as equivalent to transporting an additional passenger to work every day and additionally gratified.

The contest will run from 1 to 30 June.

Olivia Business Centre is one of the largest and most dynamically developing business hubs in Poland. The world’s top corporations have their headquarters here, e.g. Amazon, Bayer or PwC, the largest Polish brands, such as Energa, Omida, VTS, dynamically developing small and medium-sized enterprises, startups, institutions and business support organizations. Olivia is also home to one of the most dynamically developing coworking spaces in Poland – O4.

From the very beginning of Olivia’s DNA, cooperation, inspiration and development have been inscribed in her DNA. We focus on the cooperation of sectors, industries and companies, trying to create optimal conditions conducive to building mutual trust and developing joint initiatives, which – we hope – will change and will change Pomerania into an even better place to live and work.

In order to instill the idea of cooperation in our Residents and their Business Partners, we have initiated the Olivia CONNECT project at Olivia Business Centre. At the same time, it is a space where chambers of commerce, associations, employers’ associations, clusters integrating enterprises or entities focused on education and innovation have their headquarters.

Year of Olivia CONNECT

On the occasion of the first anniversary of Olivia CONNECT, Olivia Business Centre organizes a unique meeting under the slogan “The Power of Relationships. Cooperation as a response to challenges”. During the event, which will take place on May 24 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Sky Club OBC , we want not only to introduce the idea of Olivia CONNECT, but also to present the projects that we have managed to implement so far, together with our Residents, as part of the CONNECT project and outside of it, in Olivia Business Centre. We hope that by showing how much can be achieved together, we will encourage a wide range of Pomeranian entities to cooperate (e.g. cross-sectorally).

One of the key points of the event will be a lecture by Tomasz Kalinowski, PhD, diplomat and economist from the Sopot University of Applied Sciences, on the broadly understood value of cooperation.

Together with our guests, we will talk about what we can do together to develop our Region, using the potential of Residents, Business and Science.

There will also be time for networking.

The event will be attended by representatives of business, science, education, local government and beneficiaries of projects carried out by organizations located in Olivia Business Centre.

After the official part, we will invite you to individual meetings with the Residents of Olivia Business Centre as part of their “open doors”.

So far, Olivia CONNECT (Olivia Six, 13th floor) has housed the following m.in: Regional Chamber of Commerce of Pomerania, Pomeranian Association of Entrepreneurs Lewiatan, GUP Job Office, ICT Cluster Interizon, BPO Education Centre – Sopot University of Applied Sciences; infoShare Foundation. A resident of the Olivia CONNECT space is also the Inspiring Examples Foundation , which runs the educational project “Inspirations”.
