In the latest edition of the Forbes monthly, there is an article about the extraordinary path that Filip Granek went through, from a scientist to an effective leader and entrepreneur, awarded last week by EY in the Entrepreneur of the Year competition.
XTPL aspires to be a global company, the valuation of which exceeds one billion zlotys. However, it would not be a success without the vision and courage that Konrad Pankiewicz, the first investor of XTPL, did not lack.
“(…) I invested in a project called “the world’s thinnest electrically conductive lines”, and when asked the author of the project, if he would be able to implement it, he replied with childish honesty that he had no idea. It was a matter of imagination and courage. I am glad that we did not miss it”– says Konrad Pankiewicz.
The entire article is available in the paper version of the latest issue of the Polish edition of FORBES magazine (12/2018). An excerpt of the article can be found here.
