The purpose and hypothesis of the Originator Zone project. Support 4.0 is to support individual inventors and interested people to implement innovative solutions and to create an accessible and user-friendly space to experiment and test. More than 200 applications were submitted to the project, from which the experts chose the best ones. The very success of the project must be considered to inspire the people involved in it to share their ideas and reach a wider audience, because what holds people back is not the quality of their ideas, but the lack of trust. in ourselves and we managed to bring out that self-confidence – he says Anna Blajerska project manager – It is also encouraging to see that, despite the support already achieved, most initiators have continued to develop and improve their solutions.

In addition to supporting individual initiators, the initiators area is a place where you can create interesting solutions that meet the needs of the partners supporting the project. So far, in the framework of KIS DESIGNE JAM, creative workshops conducted according to the design thinking method, teams of extremely inspiring people have taken up the challenge and presented their solutions to entities such as Orange SA or Grupa Azoty SA In December , we will answer the question of how not to waste food with the participation of one of the largest food companies.

Inspirational encounters also await us, which will have the task of presenting a close relationship between the world of science, inventions, ideas with everyday life and consumer needs.
