"The potential of companies from the IT industry has reached the critical mass point. Now it is time for the next stage of developing our regional “Silicon Primeval Forest” - the stage of utilizing the synergy of minor companies to achieve a joint and more rapid growth within one larger entity. TenderHut and their achievement is a great example of synergy in the regional ecosystem of IT companies. As our region quickly proceeds through the ,,Silicon Valley path’’, we are one step away from achieving the next step – the open innovation phase, where companies such as TenderHut will invest in regional startups."
says Jolanta Koszelew, Innovation Broker, Bialystok Technical University, President of the Technotalenty Foundation.
"Bialystok starts to become a large IT development center, providing not only services but also creating high-quality products. More and more of large companies occur on the market. Thanks to many activities for the programmer community, a large number of specialists decide to remain in our city. We have several dynamic organizations gathered around certain technologies and programing languages. The communities within the groups organize regular conferences in Bialystok, where knowledge and experience can be transferred."
said Paweł Tadejko, Head of post-graduate studies on the IT Department of the Bialystok Technical University.
"Entire IT companies, not only development departments, move to Bialystok. A great example is the TenderHut Group, honorably mentioned by Deloitte, which invests in developing and increasing the dynamic of Bialystok’s programmer community. Such activities are needed. The IT department of Bialystok Technical University contributes to this goal as well, through close cooperation with many companies. Our students highly value the possibility of participating in professional practices, which are organized by IT companies, i.e. SoftwareHut."
added Paweł Tadejko.
