Traditionally, Poland has a strong scientific base in life sciences and medicine but has been driven by the generic marketplace up until recently. However, in the last decade, we have seen enormous innovation with multiples of start-ups being founded and raising private capital. Health-related industries are now among the most rapidly-expanding innovation sectors in Poland.

I speak to Szymon Bernat, the founder of Innomed Book, which is an application to showcase health innovations developed by Polish start-ups and academics. In this podcast, Szymon discusses everything related to life science in Poland as well as some inspiring stories of start-ups, including the challenges these companies are facing. The trends show huge potential for life science in Poland.
