BRIDGE UP #1 with Bed Republic
On 28 January 2026, La French Tech Krakow hosted its first edition of BRIDGE UP, a new event format designed to help companies connect with experts who can support them in solving real business challenges.
The session took place at the PURO Hotel Kraków and welcomed members of the local innovation community. For this inaugural edition, the company Bed Republic, represented by its CEO Luis Rodrigues Pires, presented a practical challenge: designing a connected mattress.
BRIDGE UP provided a collaborative space where participants were able to:
-
Meet experts in technology, business, legal, and funding fields
-
Exchange directly with professionals capable of guiding and challenging ideas
-
Receive concrete recommendations and actionable insights
La French Tech Krakow thanks all participants for their contributions, as well as Bed Republic for trusting the community with this first challenge. Special recognition is also extended to the La French Tech Krakow team : Romain Rebour, Lisa Trapletti, Edouard Boucher, Max-Olivier Muller, and Emma Mailhol, for organising the event.
The first edition of BRIDGE UP successfully demonstrated the value of collaborative problem-solving and strengthened connections across the Krakow tech ecosystem.
