Geography of the world marketing and European startups ecosystem is ongoing changing. Looking at 2016 reports of Startup Genome and DealRoom.com we can notice that opportunities, advantages and benefits for European companies change on average every two years. In 2016 we have been witness to an exponential growth of the Portuguese startups, by a 1,7% increased GDP and of how the same multinationals and startups have chosen Lisbon and Porto as European HQ for business, networking and marketing activities. This new way has increased the employment rate by 3%. If you think of Portugal and its employment rate in 2013, the actual situation causes huge surprise and, why not? even hope, word that nowadays has become mandatory when we listen to thousands of young Italians creating startups. From Western Europe, move to the Eastern, precisely to Wroclaw, where I – Luca Tamburrino of besourcer.com – used to live and work at the Business Link Wroclaw, the most important Polish startups incubator existing in nine cities of Poland since 2013. Four years ago I started to work for Business Link Wroclaw, at the beginning of the expansion and development moment of the new startups’ era and of the Polish tech industry. 
Four years ago when I first opened the BLW’s door it was just a space of about 800mq in the most important commercial street of Wroclaw. There were only 10 startups, two VCs, lots of doubts but endless motivation in Polish young people who were ready to create new IT companies. Four years have passed, startups have become 60, big brands and corporations have decided to transfer dozens of employers in the big BLW’s co-working space to consolidate their leadership; every day there are so many coding courses for under 18s and the quality of private investments has considerably improved. Before telling you about the impressions and the stories of Lukasz Lergetporer – Manager of BLW, Natalia Wartecka – Office Manager of Axwave e di Jakub Gajdamowicz – Founder of LandscapeLab, I would like to quote what, in my opinion, is the deepest thought I’ve heard in the period spent at Business Link: “Earlier we used to go to U.K., now we can go back to our native country with our children, we can do business and work with our peers in conditions that didn’t exist before. This is our new London”.
