It funny to learn from a US blog that we are sister city of the Silicon Valley capital :) I believe very much in your conclusion that Krakow is the place to be in R&D in Europe right now. One thing I'd like to add is the emerging biotechnology industry. Krakow has 4 000 researchers in life science in four universities - that have discoveries like adrenalin on their track. The speciality is cancer, cardiovasular diseases and cognition (schizophrenia, Alzheimer) research. There are also emerging biotech companies like Trigendo, BioTe21 or my Selvita (www.selvita.com). I myself switched from IT/Internet (ComArch/Interia) to biotech. I hope that you can also get acquainted with the biotech environment on your next trip to Krakow. You are much invited.
