Warsaw Safari

Twenty-five years after the fall of communism, Warsaw is bubbling with entrepreneurial ambition, demonstrated by Google’s decision to open its third campus here, after opening similar spaces in London and Tel Aviv. The city has seen a surge in investment in the past five years, creating a new moneyed elite.

Consequently, the city is now a place of opportunity for a variety of brands.
