Great geo-localization and flight connections
You can fly to over 20 countries from Gdańsk Airport (data from March 2023). Thanks to the Gdańsk's great localization in the center of Europe, flying to some cities like Copenhagen, Oslo, and Munich takes even less than two hours.
What’s more Gdańsk Airport has the most direct flights to Scandinavia (among Polish airports) including connections to Tromso, Trondheim, Alesund, Turku, Stockholm, Oslo, Goteburg Vaxjo, Malmo, Billund, and more. It’s worth mentioning that the Helsinki-Gdansk flights will be back in 2024 according to the airport website.
The Gdańsk Airport is located about 20 minutes from the center of the city by car (getting to the Bright Inventions office from the airport is even quicker).
Additionally, you can reach the city comfortably by train from Berlin.
The opportunity to see face-to-face
Working day by day in a distributed team has proven effective, yet from time to time, you might need to meet the people you work with daily in an offline setting. That’s why Gdańsk is a great place to have a software development team located, as you can reach the city in only a few hours from across Europe. Or the team can come to you. This is especially useful for product workshops that kick off most software development projects. These are the workshops that can benefit from face-to-face interactions. Software agency members can visit you to conduct these workshops.
For example, we visited our client, a renowned humanitarian agency in Rome, to conduct product workshops for the team.
Collaboration-friendly time zone
Poland is in Central European Time (CET) which makes it possible to organize daily online meetings with client representatives from European countries, as well as Israel or even the USA.
Examples of time differences:
🇵🇱 Poland – 🇩🇪 Germany: no time difference
🇵🇱 Poland – 🇳🇴 Norway: no time difference
🇵🇱 Poland – 🇬🇧 the UK: 1-hour time difference
🇵🇱 Poland – 🇮🇱 Israel: 1-hour time difference

At Bright Inventions we successfully collaborate with clients from the listed countries.
One of the top Polish technology universities is in Gdansk

Lots of Bright Inventions team members graduated from Gdansk University of Technology including our co-founders Daniel Makurat and Michał Łukasiewicz. Our project manager Kasia Łukasiewicz is also a lecturer at the Gdansk University of Technology’s Informatics department.
It’s worth mentioning that graduates of the Gdansk University of Technology created text-to-speech Ivona. Their solution eventually helped to build the famous Alexa.
Gdansk is full of programming talents
Over 500 people graduated in 2022 from the Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications, and Informatics of Gdansk University of Technology. Naturally, that is not the only college in Gdansk offering informatics studies.
The official news portal of Gdańsk says that in Gdansk works around 18 000 programmers. That’s why Gdansk is a place where true tech giants choose to operate including Amazon, Intel, and IBM.

Studies show that people who live in Gdansk are one of the happiest in Poland ☺️
Gdańsk citizens are one of the happiest in Poland according to studies conducted between 2021-2022 by Otodom and ThinkCo. Only a nearby city Gdynia had the highest level of citizen’s happiness.
One of the reasons might be the fact that Gdansk offers opportunities to grow professionally as well as to pursue other passions. Gdańsk, situated next to Baltic See, gives a chance for water activities like kite surfing, sup, sailing, and more. With hundreds of kilometers of bike routes and lots of green spaces, the city lets you truly rest after work. As a result, it helps to establish a work-life balance among employees crucial for maintaining happiness.
