Deputy Director, Department for Development of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Marshal’s Office of the Pomeranian Voivodeship, Invest in Pomerania initiative

Deputy Director for Enterprise Development and Innovation in the Department of Economic Development in the Office of the Marshal of the Pomorskie Voivodeship. Since 2000, I have been shaping the economic landscape of the Pomorskie Voivodeship as a person responsible for the development of entrepreneurship and innovation. In the years 2000 - 2004 I worked at BSSSC (Baltic Sea States Subregional Conference), where I had the opportunity to learn about the mechanisms of interregional cooperation in the EU and appreciated the importance of networking resulting in the creation of international projects and initiatives. Then I had the opportunity to gain experience in the institution responsible for the development of the region and the distribution of structural funds - the Pomeranian Development Agency, where I focused on supporting the potential of companies. In the years 2007-2010 I had the opportunity to coordinate work related to the implementation of the first cluster development policy in Poland implemented in the Pomorskie Voivodeship. The support models and good practices introduced in the region were later implemented at the national level (National Key Clusters). I am a member of the cluster policy team at the Ministry of Labor, Development and Technology. For several years, I have been responsible for creating the Pomorskie innovation ecosystem including elements such as: R&D support system, technology transfer, start-ups, internationalization of products and services. Currently, I am coordinating work related to the Regional Innovation Strategy, the key element of which is the Pomerania's Smart Specializations, and I am also responsible for the implementation of regional strategic programs in the field of economy and energy efficiency. Observing the phenomena and processes taking place in the region, I see the essence of the importance of entrepreneurial culture, mentality, motivation and creativity. I have the opportunity to research these phenomena scientifically on the basis of my doctoral dissertation on the impact of informal institutions on the absorption of structural funds for R&D by enterprises. Member of the Pomeranian Investment Council. I publish and give lectures on project management, innovation processes and EU funds. I am the mother of Zuzanna and Hubert - my most creative life endeavors.
