They left with a great impression of the quality of Tri-City startups and with the promise of returning. Now they are keeping their word.
“The return of Startup Sauna to Gdańsk is mainly due to the quality of our market. Their first visit was a great success for our entire community. The gentlemen left impressed. I believe that this year’s edition will be even better.” – says Marta Moksa from O4. Ania Tylikowska from the Startup Zone from PPNT Gdynia adds: “It’s great that we managed to persuade the representatives of the Sauna to come a day earlier and have a day-long workshop preparing for the finale. We will also be happy to host them at our place and show them the most interesting places related to the Tri-City startup ecosystem.”. And Magdalena Strzelczyk from GPNT is glad that the action will be intercity: “We will host a day of workshops devoted to the substantive content of the presentation. We will be supported by companies that have managed to obtain funding and have learned a lot from it. We are glad to be a part of the whole event.” The organizers did not forget about the opportunity for networking: “At the end of the event, we have planned time for informal conversations and establishing valuable business contacts at Clipster,” says Anna Wylężek from Starter.
Among the confirmed mentors of this year’s edition are m.in. Mike Bradshaw, an industry expert associated m.in. Finnish investors: Juha Ruohonen, Torsti Tenhunen, Maciej Grabski – investor and head of Olivia Business Centre and Alina Prawdzik – investor with experience in introducing eBay in Europe.

Poland Business Run is not only another running event, it is above all the largest CSR and charity action in Poland. This year, Gdańsk joins 6 cities that will help the beneficiaries of Jasiek Mela’s “Beyond Horizons” Foundation on 4 September. Olivia Business Centre and Coworking O4 are partners of the entire event.
Gdańsk Business Run is the local edition of the largest charity run Poland Business Run, integrating primarily business environments simultaneously in seven cities in Poland. On the same day, at the same time, more than 20,000 runners will run in a relay race for the benefit of the beneficiaries of Jasiek Mela’s Beyond Horizons Foundation, which helps amputees on a daily basis. Each team consists of 5 members. Each of them has a distance of approx. 4 km. The races take place in the centres of Kraków, Poznań, Warsaw, Wrocław, Katowice, Łódź and Gdańsk. Since 2012, Poland Business Run has already helped 60 pupils.
The Gdańsk beneficiary is Mateusz Pędziwiatr. He is 23 years old and studies power engineering at the Gdańsk University of Technology. Four years ago, on his way home, he was hit by a train. As a result of this accident, Mateusz lost an arm and a leg. He is interested in music and cars, he also loves to travel and visit new places. Before the accident, the young man was very active in sports. She still works out at the gym, but it’s not always easy. Matthew has a mismatched prosthesis that causes pain and abrasions. The “new leg” will allow him to return to an active life and make his dreams come true.
Throughout the registration period, i.e. until 4 September, the competition for all runners is active on the Huntly gamification platform available in the App Store and Google Play. The contest combines a challenge in the online world, which involves solving tasks in the app, and in reality. An example of this is a city game on a long weekend in August, during which players will have points waiting for them on the running paths of Reagan Park. Teams earn points, compete with each other for the best places and prizes, and spread knowledge about Gdańsk Business Run. The three teams that achieve the best result in the competition will win vouchers to the Runner’s Shop, dietary consultations at the Efyra Dietetics and Training Centre and training care from AWFiS Gdańsk specialists. In order to participate in the game, you need to register your team for Gdańsk Business Run and download the free Huntly mobile application (www.huntlyapp.com/download).
The Gdańsk Business Run is open to all persons who register a five-person team via the online application form available on the Gdańsk Business Run website. The entry fee for the entire team is PLN 307.50.
We cordially invite you to participate!
What does a beach on a Vistula bank, the real estate sector and help to children taken care of by the Children’s Memorial Health Institute, have in common? As it turns out – a lot. On 4 August 2016 the seventh Charity Beach Volleyball Tournament of the Commercial Property Sector was held – the Olivia Business Centre was honoured to be a partner of the event.
This year, another record was broken. As much as PLN 360,100 was collected for the Children’s Memorial Health Institute. The funds were acquired from registration of teams, auctions of objects offered by sponsors and individual contribution; the funds will be used to buy two commercial vehicles to transport blood and medical products. And this is by far the most important news.
Tomasz Trzósło, Managing Director, JLL Poland, comments: “360,100 PLN is an all-time record and a result of which we can all be proud. Since 2010, we have collected in total 1,180,000 PLN which has been donated to different foundations. We would like to thank all the companies, partners, sponsors as well as auction participants for their generosity, openness and co-operation over the years. Furthermore, we would also like to thank the volleyball teams for their sportsmanship and their fight to the last. This is a great success for the whole industry. Hope to see you next year at the Tournament’s 8th edition”.
However, the scale of the event organised by JLL was most impressive. There were 44 teams that participated in the tournament with overall 308 players; there were about 1500 persons involved in the entire event. The players were struggling on five courts for almost 9 hours – sometimes in drizzle, sometimes in blazing sun. As many as 104 played games resulted in finding the winner – the representation of Panattoni Europe.
Additionally, there is a most pleasant factor which is the atmosphere of the event that it is hard to present with photos or description. This is a unique combination of healthy sports rivalry and an opportunity to integrate representatives of the entire sector. Spectacular, sacrificing actions on the courts of which even professionals could be proud, took place at the same time as animations in playgrounds for children. This is an event that combines a good healthy life style, recreation in fresh air, business networking and constitutes real help in achieving the good cause. This is a tournament that not only releases the fire of sports rivalry, but also could well up eyes of more sensitive people with tears when the symbolic cheque was handed over to the representatives of the Foundation.
The Olivia Business Centre was honoured with being a Partner of this year’s edition of the tournament and a sponsor of prizes for the winning team.

looked in motion…
That indeed was an ace of the Panattoni Europe team 🙂
The sacrifice of some players during games had no limits.
All of that was in the spirit of fair play and sports rivalry
The players who were involved in a game, could regenerate or… produce additional money on bicycles. Each kilometre covered was worth one zloty.

What do the Vistula beach, the real estate industry and helping children under the care of the Children’s Memorial Health Institute have in common? A lot, it turns out. On 4 August 2016, for the seventh time, the Charity Beach Volleyball Tournament of the Commercial Real Estate Industry was held, of which Olivia Business Centre had the honour to be a partner.
This year, another record was set. As much as PLN 360,100 was collected for the Children’s Memorial Health Institute. The funds were raised from team registrations, auctions of items from sponsors and individual donations and will be used to purchase two vans for transporting blood and medicines. And that’s certainly the most important piece of information.

The players struggled on five pitches for almost 9 hours – once in a light rain, once in the scorching sun. As many as 104 matches were played to determine the winners – the Panattoni Europe team.
There is also the most pleasant factor, i.e. the atmosphere of the whole event, which could hardly be conveyed by any photos or descriptions. It is a unique combination of healthy sports competition and an opportunity for integration for representatives of the entire industry. Spectacular, dedicated actions on the pitch, which would not be ashamed of professionals, take place simultaneously with animations in the children’s play garden. It is an event that combines a healthy, sporty lifestyle, outdoor recreation, establishing business relationships and is a real help in achieving a noble goal. It is a tournament that not only unleashes the fire of sports rivalry, but also could cause the more sensitive ones to shed a tear while handing over a symbolic cheque to the representatives of the Foundation.

And all this in the spirit of fair play and sportsmanship!
Players who were not playing at the moment could regenerate or… wring out a few extra zlotys on the bike. Every kilometer traveled was worth a zloty.
