For some, a startup is tricky and risky, for others, it’s their bread and butter. Do you know everything you need to before you start investing in them?

Wolves Summit was created to properly support innovation by enabling relevant networking in form of well-matched 1:1 meetings. We started it 4 years ago and, although we have dreamed of it, we would have never guessed how successful it is going to be. The journey humbles us and the success stories of many companies that have met during our conference drive us every day to work harder and harder to achieve our goal: help other companies grow. We feel privileged being able to assist in the process of creating valuable business connections and we want to spread our impact as far as possible. This is why, two weeks after the 9th Wolves Summit in Warsaw, we are going to organize 10th edition of Wolves Summit abroad. For the first time in history, Alpha Wolves will meet in London, UK.

Since its very beginning, Wolves Summit has been our answer to a worldwide problem of finding and meeting with the relevant people from the tech community. We focus on quality, time-efficient, valuable networking that supports innovation in technology. This is why we believe that the matchmaking system is undeniably one of the most important qualities of our event. Wanting to ensure that your conference experience will be whole, we have prepared a step-by-step guide that will help you discover Wolves Summit Matchmaking system and fully understand it. Here's everything you need to know about it.

If you have been following us for a while, you have probably noticed us saying that attending Wolves Summit will change the future of your company. This is not just a slogan we chose to promote our conference - it is the thing we have been always striving for while organizing Wolves Summit. It brings us real joy to read about or listen to the success stories of people or companies that have joined Wolves Summit in the past. This is one of those stories.

"I understand the importance of networking, but it just doesn't come naturally for me. I don't really like it." Although people who join conferences like Wolves Summit are usually very impressive, successful top players of the business world, many of them either struggle with networking or at least are not fully satisfied with its outcomes. What we have noticed during many conferences we have been to (including our own) is that majority of those people do have much to offer, they just forget that networking, as a form of sales, is a skill that you need to train. Have you ever found yourself thinking “How do I find new clients?” or "How do I approach networking in a way that will bring a real value to my business?"? Maybe it doesn't feel comfortable for you to approach people and talk to them? Maybe once you stick to one person, you’d rather stay with them for longer or maybe it's the other way around - you don't know how to finish conversation without sounding rude? If your answer to any of those questions was "yes", this post is for you. Here's the essence of best Wolves practices that will help you master networking

Time is the most important and valuable thing you have - no matter what you do, you are never getting it back. So how much of it you spend looking for fresh, innovative ideas... just to realize you have seen most of them already? We have created Wolves Summit to properly support innovation by giving the participants an access to a platform that assures getting to relevant people 1:1. To bring the essence of the innovative world into one place, shorten the process of its development and save time of this world's game changers. It comes as no surprise then that we focus on who joins the conference, that they actually are relevant and needed in the innovative ecosystem. We pride ourselves on bringing top players among decision-makers: investors, corporates and executives, but there is also this second, just as important group, the brains behind the innovative ideas: startups. What are the steps we are taking to assure that startups joining us bring real value to the event, answer the needs of todays world and fulfill the promise of bringing innovation into the world? Here is the startups you'll meet during Wolves Summit.

For an ever-growing group of Polish companies and institutions, the word "innovation" ceases to be just a fashionable slogan and becomes a fact. This is due to the support of the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR), an executive agency of the Minister of Science and Higher Education, which co-finances innovative projects with market potential conducted by scientists and entrepreneurs. The agency supports innovators at all stages of project implementation, helping "from idea to industry". By "insuring" the risk related to conducting R&D works, it enables to start or continue innovative projects, thanks to which entrepreneurs build their competitive advantage, while end-users stand a chance to use ever better products and services adapted to their needs.
