Why develop under our wing?
Żabka does not need to be introduced to anyone, does it? Over the 23 years of its presence on the Polish market, the company has established itself as the fastest growing grocery shop chain in the country. The company’s mission is to make life more comfortable for its customers.
Along with the development of its chain, Żabka implements a comprehensive liability strategy (ESG), focusing on the promotion of a sustainable lifestyle, positive impact on the environment, responsible organisation and activities for a green planet.
Żabka’s success would not be possible without the work and commitment of great specialists and high-class experts (over 15% of employees focus on developing innovative solutions), who are waiting to support your positive impact startup.
KBH, established at Kozminski University, organises an ecosystem of innovation support. The company has been educating entrepreneurs and supporting new and promising businesses for many years.
The KBH acceleration program invariably enjoys great interest. Until now, there have been 4 editions of the program, to which several dozens of startups have applied each time. During each edition, participants had the support of a wide range of mentors. In total, 50 experts from various fields worked in the acceleration program.
Every year KBH creates a report Startups of Positive Impact containing experts’ statements about Polish positive impact ecosystem, detailed descriptions of activities of the most interesting startups in a given year and information on initiatives supporting this movement in Poland.
