THANK YOU TO OUR PARTNERS!:)

 

On the weekend of 02-03 June, the new season of the Business Sailing League was inaugurated. There were eleven crews on the start list, representatives of various businesses. This year, the main partners of the League are once again Olivia Business Centre and Klif Gdynia Shopping Centre.

For the first time this year, representatives of the business world raced around the pier in Sopot at the Delphia 24 regatta. In addition to the regulars of the league, there were also debutants, m.in. EPAM and Sunreef Yachts. A total of 11 teams will compete every two weeks in June and September. The crews are supervised by professional sailors.

“This is another season of the Business Sailing League and new challenges. We’re excited to see new teams in the game. Year after year, we are becoming more and more convinced that sailing is an excellent promotional platform for companies that really have nothing to do with sailing. This is the premise of BLŻ, to enable participating companies to establish new contacts, strengthen business relationships or build an atmosphere of teamwork. emphasizes Rafał Sawicki from GSC Yachting.

The Business Sailing League gives you the opportunity to participate in high-class, professional regatta races between representatives of various businesses, conducted under the supervision of the top Polish sports sailors. The crews, in addition to the practical opportunity to improve their skills, compete in a spectacular formula of races at the Sopot pier, which is the most convenient place to cheer on such struggles in Poland. Each participant can learn the tactics of fighting the enemy, trimming sails and yacht steering techniques. The project is aimed at business – as a tool for activating own employees and building an atmosphere of teamwork, or as a method of building relationships with customers in an original format. Cyclical regattas are conducted on identical, high-performance sports yachts Delphia 24 OneDesign. Races are held at two-week intervals. Teams consist of 4-6 people – as company crews. Time spent on the water in the setting of real sports races guarantees a lot of healthy emotions.

The Main Partners of the project are: Olivia Business Centre and Klif Gdynia Shopping Centre, Partners are: D.A.D Sportswear, STBU Insurance Brokers, Sanhaus Apartments, Delphia Yachts, Promarina Sopot, Sopot Sea Bath, White Marlin Restaurant, Meridian Restaurant, Henkel, Prosseco Mionetto and Magazyn W Ślizgu!, Prestige Tricity Magazine and Żagle Magazine.

The Minister of Entrepreneurship and Technology, Jadwiga Emilewicz, took part in the debate “Gdańsk Metropolis on the map of Polish entrepreneurship”, which took place in Olivia Business Centre. The participants of the event discussed how the potential of metropolitan areas can be used and what is the significance of the Gdańsk Metropolis for Polish business and economy. The meeting was organized by the Jagiellonian Club.

As Minister Emilewicz said, there is no way to turn away from certain global trends, because 70% of the world’s population lives in large cities. “A similar phenomenon can be observed in Poland, where there are strong depopulation movements in the second and third speed centres, in favour of large cities. At the same time, research indicates that in a moment it will be impossible to live in large centres, as they are approaching the limits of their capabilities, whether in terms of transport or other areas of service for residents. The way to do this is to introduce sustainable development and use the potential of strong academic centres. Some kind of investments will always appear in the vicinity of academic centres. A very good example are places like the one we are in, located right next to the campus of the University of Gdańsk. Polish cities are already high in global rankings for the best locations for shared service centres. The Tri-City is one of the largest academic centres – it has 23 universities educating over 100 thousand people. At the same time, it is the largest agglomeration on the Baltic Sea. So it’s a strategic function and a commitment.”

Metropolitan areas are poles of growth and innovation. They both strengthen the strength of the national economy by attracting the largest companies, and improve the quality of life of residents. The success of a metropolis depends primarily on the proper use of the potential of large urban centres as well as on the external impulse. Olivia Business Centre has also contributed to the growing importance of the metropolis, implementing a number of programmes through the activities of accelerators, start-ups and co-working.

 

The subject of the future, the shape of the Gdańsk Metropolis and its importance for Pomerania and Polish appears in Olivia not for the first time. OBC is m.in. partner of the “Metropolitan Debates” series, organized by the editors of Dziennik Bałtycki. Throughout the first half of 2018, representatives of local governments, universities, cultural and art institutions, entrepreneurs and politicians meet in Olivia Business Centre to discuss the most important topics for our agglomeration. Among the issues addressed were m.in. Common ticketing and public transport, solutions for problems of environmental protection, education, regional development planning…

So far, the guests of the debates have m.in: Paweł Adamowicz, Mayor of Gdańsk; Wojciech Szczurek, Mayor of Gdynia; Jacek Karnowski, Mayor of Sopot; Aleksandra Dulkiewicz, Deputy Mayor of Gdansk; Katarzyna Gruszecka-Spychała, Deputy Mayor of Gdynia; Prof. Iwona Sagan from the University of Gdansk; Joanna Witkowska, Director of the Provincial Labour Office in Gdańsk; Maciej Grabski, President of Olivia Business Centre; Zbigniew Canowiecki, President of the Pomeranian Employers; Patryk Demski, Mayor of Pelplin; Kazimierz Smoliński, Deputy Minister of Infrastructure; Ryszard Świlski, Member of the Board of the Pomeranian Voivodeship; Paweł Chorąży, Deputy Minister in the Ministry of Development; Kazimierz Kleina, senator (PO); Marcin Horała, Member of the Sejm (Law and Justice); Edyta Damszel-Turek, Director of the Gdańsk Development Office; Magdalena Kołodziejczak , Mayor of the Pruszcz Gdański Commune, Krzysztof Rudziński , President of InnoBaltica, Marcin Wołek, Gdynia City Councillor, communication specialist.

The next meeting dedicated to the quality of life in Pomerania will take place on 26 June. Register for the event.

The substantive partner of the debates is the Gdańsk-Gdynia-Sopot Metropolitan Area Association.

On this occasion, we invited residents of the OBC to the “Football Zone under the Palm Trees”. Let’s support the Polish team as well as other best footballers of the world. The 21st edition of the World Cup was opened by the match of the hosts with Saudi Arabia. The 5:0 result for Russia was just the beginning of great football emotions! After the opening match, the World Cup has started for good. The trophy won in Brazil on July 15 will be defended – perhaps – by the German team, which in its first match at the World Cup lost unexpectedly with Mexico…

Behind us many beautiful, sunny days that made us feel that the summer has come to us… But it has come also to Olivia. And this is thanks to a unique chamber concert, with a unique artist – Magdalena Molendowska in the main role, and in a unique place, which is Olivia Star. The event was already the fifteenth cycle of Olivia Camerata. The motto of this year’s concerts at the Olivia Business Centre is “The Four Seasons”.

And thus… The “Summer” concert will certainly be in our memory for a long time. Olivia’s special guest was a phenomenal, world-class soprano Magdalena Molendowska, who, with her masterful performance of vocal parts of arias and opera duos performed together with tenor Jacek Szponarski, delighted and charmed a record audience of nearly 200 people! The artists were accompanied by acclaimed Gdańsk pianist, Grażyna Troć. The audience watched the performance with incredible enthusiasm. It rewarded the performers with a standing ovation – they’ve been encore-singing twice! No wonder, as the composers whose songs were sung included Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Puccini and Offenbach.

Before the main part of the concert, students of the violin class under the direction of prof. Anna Śliwa from the second grade Music School in Gdańsk-Wrzeszcz presented their skills as part of the promotion of young talents. Agata Szabelska played Légende of H. Wieniawski, and Szymon Cygański – Scherzo in C minor of J. Brahms. Students were accompanied by Anna Mikolon on the piano.

– The hot atmosphere outside was in perfect symbiosis with what was happening in the artistic spaces of our new concert venue in the Olivia Star lobby. The invitation to participate in Olivia Camerata concerts is accepted by more and more people. Among them are our friends from the Olivia Business Centre and the closest neighbors from Oliwa and Przymorze. We actually host people from all over the metropolis, and even from other parts of Poland – says Monika Bogdanowicz from the Olivia Business Centre team implementing the project – Not only the unusual talent of performers, but also the charm of this place brings them to us. The acoustics of the Stara lobby were highly appreciated by experienced music lovers, who compared the quality of reception in this space to this in concert halls.

About Olivia Camerata

Olivia Camerata is a series of chamber concerts that take place in the Olivia Business Centre since 2016. Camerata is an integral part of the interdisciplinary OBC “Olivia Cooltura” project, which integrates the inhabitants of the metropolis around culture and art in many aspects. Concerts, meetings with authors, film screenings, workshops and debates take place in Olivia. As part of the three editions of Olivia Camerata, 15 concerts have been held so far.

Camerata is dedicated to the inhabitants of Gdańsk, especially the neighboring districts of Olivia – Oliwa and Przymorze. The project is intended to integrate the community around the OBC, as well as to serve the creation and development of mutual relations of the inhabitants of the region. Camerata is also trying to build intergenerational bridges, because whole families are attending concerts in Olivia. It is also to encourage older people who are more and more willing to take part in artistic events that are more easily accessible due to their proximity to their place of residence.

– We are happy that high and world-class culture is now permanently present in our spaces and that the idea of chamber concerts at the Olivia Business Centre has been so well received by our immediate surroundings. It’s great that more and more people are interested in participating in an original music event, just seemingly impossible to organize in a place like a business centre. The creation of a committed, active community, and such is already focused around Camerata, is our greatest joy – emphasizes Monika Bogdanowicz.

All Camerata lovers are cordially invited to the next event after the holidays – on October 13 – the “Autumn” concert. Save this date in your calendars!

Forget-me-not’s day: remember about your close ones. Be sincere and… meet someone you have not seen for a long time.

The Polish Forget-Me-Not Day has been celebrated for several years on May 15 🙂 It is a special day. It reminds us how amazing and diverse nature is in Poland and that we have to take care of it and protect it. And this is not all. The “Forget-me-not” encourages us to be particularly mindful… Let us remember important and unique moments, places and events… and, in particular, persons who contribute so much to our lives every day. Perhaps you have not called your mother, aunt Krysia or your friend Basia for a long time? Do it! And meet someone you have not seen for a long time!

Forget-Me-Not

• It is not always blue :), its white variety is also known and a pink one also occurs;
• It really likes to “grow along a brook”;
• We can also encounter it on many continents;
• In order to enjoy it on its day, we should sow it in March (good advice for the following year!)

How can a forget-me-not help us?

• It can be the basis for the preparation of a tincture helpful in case of persistent coughing, inflammations of the bronchi, larynx and the throat;
• Baths in the forget-me-not are also recommended for good sleep;
• You can also use forget-me-nots as a compress for tired eyes.

The author of the Polish Forget-Me-Not Day is Andrzej Zalewski, the host of Ekoradio in the program I of the Polish Radio. The first celebration of that day was in 2002.

Remember your loved ones. Be cordial and… meet someone you haven’t seen for a long time:)

We would like to invite Pomeranian entrepreneurs to participate in the competition for the 2018 Economic Griffin Award. The competition will select the next business leaders in Pomerania!

For the first time, the competition combines several important economic initiatives, making it possible to distinguish also those entities that build the business environment and influence the development of entrepreneurship in the region.

• Innovation Leader – awards will be given to companies that introduce innovative services and products to the market, contributing to the development of smart specializations in Pomerania.
• Export Leader – is addressed to enterprises that conduct and consistently expand their export activities, and not only the volume of exports will be taken into account, but above all the consistent expansion of sales markets.
• Investment Leader – is addressed to companies whose investment activity is distinguished by the courage of their investment decisions, especially their impact on the economic development of the environment.
• Leader of social responsibility – is addressed to companies that are involved m.in. in activities for the development of the local community, support and implement activities for environmental protection, especially those that have a positive impact on the company’s environment.
• Pomeranian start-up – is addressed to enterprises that have been operating for no longer than 5 years and are distinguished by an innovative idea, a stable source of financing, and the social and business value of the start-up.
• Leader of Vocational Education – is addressed to employers who are involved in and actively support the vocational education of students by cooperating with vocational schools from the Pomeranian Voivodeship.
• Youth Entrepreneurship Leader – is addressed to people or entities that organize and support youth entrepreneurship in academic and school environments. Rewards will be given to activities that foster the development of young people’s entrepreneurial competences through learning, play or direct action.

The competition jury will also award the Economic Griffin statuette in the Entrepreneur-Friendly Municipality category – a competition successfully conducted for several years by the Pomeranian Regional Chamber of Commerce, and since this year it has been combined with the Economic Griffin competition. The media and institutions patronizing the competition additionally award one of the finalists with the Media Griffin.

This year, one of the world’s leading consulting companies, PWC, has become the substantive partner of the competition, which co-created the new rules of submission and will prepare recommendations for the competition committee.

Applications are accepted until July 15, 2018 . in electronic version to the following address: PRP@pomorskie.eu with a note in the title “Application for participation – Economic Griffin 2018”. Each company can apply to a maximum of 2 categories.

In addition to the completed simplified application form, a signed and scanned declaration of the contestant must be sent. The competition is also open to finalists and winners of previous editions.

The award ceremony will take place on 21 September 2018. The organization of the competition is possible thanks to the financial support of mBank S.A. – the main sponsor of the competition, as well as Olivia Business Centre – a strategic partner.
