Patryk Strzelewicz - Game Technologies

At Game Technologies, we strive to invent and create products that do not exist in the market. In the last few years, we have achieved this twice. Our lead product is the most technologically advanced game controller in the world called DICE+. The dice is used to play interactive board games on a tablet or computer. The dice itself is a tiny device (only 25 grams in weight) packed with 60 individual components, all of which are produced in the European Union. We are one of a few hundred companies that will receive an R&D grant this year from the EU.

If I were Minister for SMEs and start ups, I would consistently promote the gaming industry, especially at international trade fairs.

“Entrepreneurs are important to society because we create the most jobs, design numerous innovative products and inspire new businesses to develop more companies.”

Thanks to ZalozFirmu.cz, anyone wanting to form a business in the Czech Republic can now do so online for free, saving them considerable time and resources. Since we started in 2009, 5,000 businesses have been set up through our platform. Our ambition is to create a universal website which would allow SME entrepreneurs across the EU to form their new companies for free. I would have set up a business regardless of the internet, but its existence along with other digital technologies has made it relatively cheap to build and grow a successful business.

I would like to see a massive reduction in the administrative burden on small businesses and laws that are easily enforceable.

 

“Entrepreneurs are important to society because we identify business opportunities and realise them, thus creating value systems for the whole of society.”
