Universities should undoubtedly begin to regard themselves as business partners. Foreign academic centers, which should be particularly used as role models, are not only institutions educating people, but also entrepreneurs. They incubate startups by investing in them, and later by earning from po- tential profits in project commercialization, sharing these funds with younger startups. It is a sort of perpetual motion which is worth implementing in Poland. Without any doubt, the academic environment is not open to taking a risk, which is inextricably linked to the startup market.
