Tessa McIver talks to Walid Barsali, CEO of BallSquad and President of La French Tech Warsaw. Walid Barsali is not only the founder and CEO of the increasingly successful startup BallSquad. He has also recently been appointed President of La French Tech Warsaw, an organisation that aims to bring the Polish and French startup ecosystems closer together. I look forward to learning more about both! What advantages does he see in the Polish market for French founders? Why is collaboration important – between different countries and between the different players in the startup ecosystem as a whole? What are the future plans for both Ballsquad and La French Tech Warsaw?

“I believe our unique selling point is that we focus on what brings us together. Poland Weekly offers something you will not find anywhere else: a truly international and unifying perspective focused on content that builds cooperation and mutual understanding. This attitude doesn't make us naïve, but it allows us to focus on mutual understanding and a search for solutions. There are so many new challenges that we are all facing, such as energy transformation, climate change and supply chain disruption, to name but a few. By working together and sharing good practices, we can achieve so much more.”
