and the screen even more unified than ever before. The development of technology for<br />

obtaining a homogeneous screen will contribute to this along with the development of small<br />

and high-performance projectors. Interaction with humans shall also be sophisticated by<br />

building advanced touch interfaces. The applications will interpret movements, voice,<br />

intentions, and not only touch.<br />

Leia believes in the technology it has commercialized, but continues to search for new<br />

solutions by experimenting with different kinds of liquids, gases and methods of display. At<br />

the moment, however, steam works best. The second major challenge is the development<br />

of the system in the direction of three dimensions that would enable new areas of<br />

application. Engineers are working on ‘3D cinema without glasses’ technology. This solution<br />

has numerous disadvantages, but it will display images in a way more interesting than<br />

before. Displaying in 3D requires many years of further study.<br />

There is a need for framework conditions fostering the reasons for the emergence of Polish<br />

born-global enterprises. However, their pioneering character in terms of young age,<br />

newness of ideas and lack of established presence on the market also presents significant<br />

challenges for their capacity to survive. International entrepreneurship demands local and<br />

global externalities. The development and implementation of innovations require<br />

cooperation with the institutions of business environment, including those that provide<br />

funding for such projects. In this respect, technological entrepreneurship is related to the<br />

basic pillars of knowledge-based economy. A special role should be played here by business<br />

ecosystem, namely a wide range of cooperation ranging from consortia or research centers,<br />

through consultancy, organizational, funding and infrastructure services, up to relations<br />

with business environment institutions in the field of incubation. Science and technology<br />

parks, public administration and financial systems should contribute to the maturing of<br />

entrepreneurial initiatives. Furthermore, competitions and prizes for new companies that<br />

recognize the entrepreneurial spirit could be an additional source of motivation for the<br />

creation of new global initiatives. A comparatively high level of capital is needed for global<br />

start-ups to unlock and use their full potential – difficult for a company which has limited<br />

resources and which faces the reluctance of external investors to finance its untested<br />

business idea. This requires high levels of technical and managerial expertise, familiarity<br />

with procedures and markets and a high level of commitment and engagement.<br />

Consequently, innovative financing instruments acknowledging the specific characteristics<br />

of born-global enterprises, by providing them with sufficient funds without limiting their<br />

future growth, seem to be needed. Case studies in the field of global technology start-ups<br />

should develop the existing theory and provide explanations of the hitherto unrecognized<br />

phenomena. This paper may provide a starting point for an in-depth empirical research and<br />

contribution to the discussion on the methodological dilemmas associated with conducting<br />

research in this area.<br />
