?? Expanding Our Silicon Forest: Connecting Podlasie and Ukraine in Tech Innovation

As we continue to develop our "Puszcza Krzemowa" (Silicon Forest) in Podlasie, it's crucial to maintain a global perspective. In line with this approach, I'll be attending the GAME CITY CONFERENCE 2024 in Rivne, Ukraine.

Last year, despite the ongoing situation in Ukraine, we made the decision to visit Rivne - a city 1000 km from the frontlines. The experience provided valuable insights into the resilience and innovation of the Ukrainian IT community. This year, we're returning to further explore potential collaborations and expand our network.

Game City Conference 2024 (August 14-16) key points:

• 300+ participants expected
• 20+ speakers covering Education, Business, GameDev, and IT tracks
• Hybrid format with online and offline components

Why is this important for our Silicon Forest?

1. International Perspective: Exposure to diverse ideas and approaches in tech innovation.
2. Talent Exchange: Opening doors for collaboration between Podlasie and Ukrainian tech talents.
3. Resilience in Innovation: Learning from a tech community thriving despite adversity.
4. Expanding Our Ecosystem: Building a network that transcends borders.

As we nurture our local tech scene, it's crucial to look beyond our immediate surroundings. The challenges and innovations we'll discuss at Game City - from EdTech to GameDev - will undoubtedly influence and inspire our own Silicon Forest.

This is more than just attending a conference; it's about building bridges, fostering innovation, and showing that our Puszcza Krzemowa is part of a global tech ecosystem.
