吾志遠 Lukasz Piotr LANSKI

Passionate about traveling, different cultures, and meeting new people - in short, this is what describes him. Without this passion, Lukasz Piotr LANSKI would never have happened to be in Taiwan.

He chose Sinology as the major for his bachelor's degree, as he had a dedication for foreign languages as well as openness to new challenges. That very decision had a great impact on his future and how he shaped himself in the following years. He visited Taiwan for the first time in 2012 to join National Kaohsiung Normal University. This initial trip left a big impression on him, so he decided to return in 2013 to join NTNU with a scholarship. After returning to Poland, he finished his studies and despite not being able to go to Taiwan again for some time, he found a way to connect with it in his home country. He opened a Taiwanese restaurant and bar in the middle of Poznan City, and he also opened a business with his Taiwanese colleague, focused on international trade and marketing. After the experience of operating a small business, he realized his need for further development in that field. Therefore, he decided to visit Taiwan for the 3rd time in late 2015. During which, he joined the Working Holiday program. Thanks to it, he had a unique chance to learn more about Taiwan’s restaurant and bar industry. He felt he needed this experience to understand more about Taiwan and its people.

Following the program, he pursued his second degree – Global MBA program at National Sun Yat-Sen University. That was the missing piece of a puzzle he needed to find during the days of running a business. After graduation, he started a new job in Pingtung where he was preparing a company’s entry into different markets in Europe. He was also managing existing clients and acquiring new ones. This long road finally led him to his current position as the Head of the Polish Investment and Trade Agency Taipei Office. A post that allows him to support Polish investors and exporters from his home country to his second home, linking Poland and Taiwan together, strengthening their ties.
