As part of the University of Rzeszów’s regular series of open lectures for students, on 21 May 2025 the Faculty of Economics and Finance had the honour of hosting Dr Adam Góral – founder and CEO of Asseco Poland S.A., the largest IT company in Poland – as well as Mr Artur Wiza, Vice President of the company.

The guests were welcomed on behalf of the Rector of the University of Rzeszów by Professor Janusz Pasterski, Vice-Rector for Social and Economic Cooperation.

Dr Góral shared the story of how his business grew from a small start-up into a global powerhouse over the course of 34 years. He emphasised the importance of core values in shaping an entrepreneurial mindset and encouraged students to be courageous in pursuing their passions, and to strive to be ambitious, responsible and prosperous.

The lecture, which filled the auditorium with students and academic staff, was met with great enthusiasm. We sincerely hope that Dr Adam Góral will accept future invitations to engage with the students of the University of Rzeszów once again.
