e-Residency programme allows founders worldwide to establish and build their EU-based entities 100% digitally and remotely. To date there are around 145,000 founders worldwide who have e-Residency, including around 3,000 Polish nationals. Estonia also holds the world record with fastest company establishment in just 15 minutes and 33 seconds. The country boasts a vibrant startup ecosystem with 12 unicorn startups having originated from Estonia, including Skype, Wise and Bolt.

Through practical exercises, real examples, and AI-powered content strategies for LinkedIn and Instagram, participants will learn how to strengthen their positioning, create meaningful content, and walk away with a practical content plan.

Marcin Babiak – ekspert przywództwa, zarządzania oraz transformacji kulturowej i cyfrowej, trener-praktyk, mentor i konsultant. Były szef polskich oddziałów takich firm jak Apple, Dell, Groupon czy Komputronik. Doświadczony ekspert LinkedIn.
Marcin pracuje zarówno z jednoosobowymi startupami, jak i szkoli pracowników światowych korporacji.
Jeśli czujesz, że Twój rozwój osobisty i kariera mogą wymagać wsparcia doświadczonego mentora, dodatkowej uwagi, ukierunkowania lub wzmocnienia przyjdź i porozmawiaj z Marcinem Babiakiem podczas Office Hours.
Discover how to navigate organizational barriers, turn bold ideas into real-world impact, and make things happen even when you don’t have the title, budget, or authority. Leave with a mindset to stop waiting for the perfect moment and start turning your ideas into action — because you don’t have to own the company to change it.
