Polish Startups. Global Reach.

 

The first intelligent business scaling ecosystem in Poland and Europe — guiding startups from market readiness to global expansion with the power of AI, expert insight, and support from the global Polish diaspora.

Why

 

We believe the future belongs to companies that combine advanced technology with real-world responsibility. Too many great ideas never cross borders. Too many innovations lose their purpose chasing scale. We created AI Impact to change that — to help purpose-driven founders turn meaningful innovation into global presence.

 

How

 

We scout, prepare, and support startups ready to grow beyond their home market. Through a combination of AI tools, strategic mentoring, global networks, and investor access, we build bridges — not barriers — between local talent and international opportunity. We guide founders not just through acceleration, but through expansion with depth, clarity, and purpose.

 

What

 

AI Impact is an ecosystem for scaling AI and impact-driven startups globally. We provide predictive analysis, personalized expansion strategies, and access to smart capital and global support networks. We help founders grow companies that are not only scalable — but built to matter.

 


AI Impact Ecosystem

 

Initiated by the GAIA Foundation, this project is dedicated to scaling Polish startups and introducing them to Silicon Valley and global markets. AI Impact is a comprehensive ecosystem that supports companies in international expansion — through technology, investment, legal, and communications infrastructure.

We celebrated this milestone by signing a letter of intent with:

🤝 Edi Pyrek (GAIA Foundation)

🤝 Prof. Piotr Moncarz (Stanford University, Poland in Silicon Valley)

🤝 Kamil Szymański (President of the 60 Million Congress)

🤝 Michał Dybowski (President of Healthcare Poland Foundation)

🤝 Artur Błasik (Investor, President of TVBiznesowa)

🤝 Marcin Wenus (President of Expo Invest Cuffs)

We are thrilled to announce that Paweł Tomala has been appointed as the CEO of AI Impact Ecosystem.

This ecosystem is the culmination of five years of our work at the GAIA Foundation — and a bold step into the future of global growth for Polish innovation.
