People often ask me how to survive professionally in Poland.
Normally I tell them, that if you're willing to work hard and learn the language
there are many opportunities here.
However I wanted to take a closer look at the possibilities
So I traveled to Podkarpackie with an emerging economy and industrious history
to see why people do business in Poland.
Some would argue that thanks to the work of Ignacy Łukasiewicz
technology propagated in this region of Poland
has paved the way for the world we know today.
On the 31st of July 1853 a kerosene lamp
invented in Lviv was lit publicly for the first time.
The event went down in history as the symbolic date
of the advent of the oil industry.
It's mind-boggling to consider that nearly every modern convenience we know
wouldn't be possible without this 50 meter manually dug pit from the 1800s.
Shortly after this site was established it was said to have been visited by a
delegate of the Rockefeller company, who brought the knowledge back
to the United States changing the world forever. Local legend even proclaims,
that Rockefeller had personally visited this area.
Can't believe that you can take a liquid out of the ground and power an airplane.
Poland get some points for innovation.
For starters loads of aviation servicing happens in this part of Poland and it's not
a coincidence because standing in front of me is the largest hangar in the country.
Actually it's one of the largest hangars in Central Europe
and it's the only one capable of servicing Boeing's famous Dreamliner.
Furthermore this is the second longest runway in Poland
and it is even capable of accommodating the largest aircraft in the world.
In fact this entire region is known as aviation Valley
and is well versed in aerospace technology.
It's also one of the few regions,
where the Black Hawk helicopter is produced outside of the United States.
In 2007 PZL Mielec joined the Sikorsky Aircraft.
This was the beginning of a new era.
The location was chosen as a production site for global players such
as Lockheed Martin on account of its 80 plus years of aviation experience
even producing such famous aircraft as the Black Hawk helicopter
which is used by the US military and beyond.
Now maybe you're actually in the business of gliding.
Actually I found out that that can also be arranged here in Mielec.
Oh right, wel..
I'm not even gonna try to describe that sensation.
Ok, Oh my.. OH NO!
Short disclaimer my pilot was world class I was not.
Turns out I'm not brave enough for g-force in acrobatics.
Hello, I'm Paweł. Welcome.
You're showing me today some airplane without engine, right?
Of course.
This glider is allowed to full acrobatics.
There procedures and checklists on the airplane
You have to do everything according to the scheme.
There's freedom in gliding and it's beautiful.
Now it's going to be sharp raising, after pick up.
Ok, here we go. Lets start!
Ok, Oh my God!
I don't know if I like that.
Oh Jesus!
Oh that's different.
You just shot off basically it like shooting out of a gun
and I thought that gliders were supposed to be like this calm chilled experience.
How do you like it?
oh my oh my..OH NO!
Oh Jesus!
All right, I just got to chill.
You have the imagination for how it would be to crash in an airplane.
hahaha
heheh yeah very funny very funny
and then the other freaky thing he did was a low-pass which is like
sharp at the ground you think oh my God we're gonna crash.
Just don't ask me dude.
Oh my God!
Oh this is terrible, oh my God!
All right.. never again
All together, yes you should try it once in your life.
Now we're on to the next location.
Although world's Royce is also the area
motorcycle culture is so conspicuous here that a recent episode
of American Chopper was shot at this Harley Davidson dealership.
Which also happens to be one of the largest in Europe.
So I met up with the management to learn a little bit more about their business.
Hello, I'm Paweł Pomianek.
We're at the Harley-Davidson Rzeszów and Game Over Cycles dealership.
I will tell about our motorcycles, mostly castom.
Welcome in our world.
The Recidivist, the world's first skin-covered and tattooed motorcycle.
It was made in 2014, entirely built by our company.
All of the elements are here for some reason.
The idea of the motorcycle was to look like a criminal,
who got out of jail after 30 years.
And his entire body is covered with tattoos.
A Harley dealership felt so American that it was hard to believe I was
standing in the middle of Europe and that's not a coincidence as the
relationships between America and Poland have always been historically strong.
The friendship between Podkarpackie and America runs deep.
Consider the story of Inglot cosmetics,
Where a dreamer travelled to the United States for business inspiration.
Today the company has their own shop in Times Square with a headquarters here.
And here's another fun fact I don't suppose you'd often find an American flag
properly folded in most high-level Polish government conference rooms.
There's a reason for that. It signifies the deep bond with the
Polish people who now live in the United States. Furthermore it was here,
that President Duda had his first phone call with President Trump.
I'm always amazed by what is revealed when looking beyond the obvious.
In my opinion Podkarpackie is full of hidden gems.
From my own family history to amazing tourist sites
and outstanding food. I have fallen in love with this part of Poland.
But after this visit I can confidently say that the region
also offers professionals a higher level of innovation.
