# 1. Executive summary **Arbitrum Warsaw Builder Program with ETHWarsaw** **ETHWarsaw** is a community of builders in Poland, focused on growing the local Ethereum ecosystem through events, education, and collaboration. Through the Arbitrum DAO grant, we achieved strong builder activation around Arbitrum, starting with a Twitter Space, followed by a blog post, then a presence at the ETHWarsaw conference, and finally a dedicated meetup. Together, these activities gave Arbitrum **three months of continuous presence in Warsaw** , building awareness and engagement across both online and offline channels.

Future Plans & Continued Ecosystem Alignment** We see strong potential to continue building on this collaboration and maintain Arbitrum’s presence in Warsaw, ideally through **Kolektyw3** , our year-round community and coworking space for builders. The space has proven effective for hosting technical events and connecting local teams with global ecosystems, and it could naturally evolve into a recurring home for **Arbitrum-focused gatherings**. If further support becomes available, we would like to: - Organize **regular meetups, workshops, and co-learning sessions** for builders interested in Arbitrum tools and development. - Include **Arbitrum tracks** in future bootcamps and hackathons coordinated by the ETHWarsaw team. - Facilitate **cross-regional collaboration** with other European Arbitrum communities. Our goal is to sustain the momentum created by this program and turn it into **consistent, year-round engagement** connecting Polish developers to the Arbitrum ecosystem in meaningful ways.
