MAIN STAGEFriday 28 August14:00–15:00TalksPL

Let’s get ready to debate!

HOW TO NOT INVEST IN POLAND?

Eight rounds. One winner.

A duel over eight rounds. Two speakers, one subject and a room that decides. Edi Pyrek and Maciej Zientara take on the Polish investment market from the side people usually discuss under their breath: what scares money away, where founders lose time, which habits of the industry cost the most. The format is deliberately sharp, because a sharp format shows faster which arguments have numbers under them and which have only conviction. The room is not the only judge. The duel is also scored by AI Referee, an experimental technology built for this debate by Xfaang, the festival's technology partner: it reads what is said in real time, verifies the arguments and helps judge how a live public debate is going.
