“The third edition of the Olivia Prize competition is ahead of us. We are very impressed by the many useful and important projects carried out by our Residents in 2021 – says Bogusław Wieczorek from Olivia Centre. – So far, the applications have included initiatives in the field of ecology or support for charitable organizations. However, special recognition should be given to business projects carried out despite the difficult, dynamically changing situation on global markets. The year 2022 presented us with many challenges that required us to react quickly and confront the changing conditions of doing business. This makes it all the more important for us to be able to appreciate valuable initiatives implemented in an unfavourable economic situation. Importantly, the jury is composed of representatives of Olivia companies, so each award is an expression of appreciation from the business community –Adds.

The Olivia Prize has been awarded since 2020. The nominated projects will be evaluated by a jury composed of managers of Olivia Centre’s resident companies. Last year, the jury considered 36 applications. The Olivia Prize was awarded in 3 categories:

• Business – awarded to Omida for introducing intermodal transport to a new market.
• Pro Bono – for volunteers from Energa for the project Pier(w)si win!
• Eco – for ZR Trade for the #ZeroWasteWorking project.
• The Olivia Impact Special Award went to the Regional Volunteer Centre in Gdańsk – for its current and subsequent comprehensive activities for refugees from war-torn Ukraine.

The Jury will award each winning initiative with a prize – a voucher to be used to organize an event in one of the spaces of Olivia Centre. The winners will be able to choose whether it is a lunch for the whole team at the Vidokówka restaurant, an exclusive dinner at Treinta y Tres or Arco, a conference with a view of the Bay of Gdańsk from the 34th floor or in the most popular coworking space in Poland, O4 Coworking or maybe exotic drinks in Olivia Garden. The deadline for submissions is February 28, 2023.
