National Institute of Telecommunications

A discussion held during the Poland's Security Congress in Jasionka near Rzeszów made one thing clear: today, national security is a system of interconnected vessels - and its resilience has still not been truly tested. Anna Streżyńska, Director of the National Institute of Telecommunications (Instytut Łączności), took part in the panel discussion "Connectivity, OT and the Cloud. One National Security Ecosystem” alongside representatives of public administration and the market: the President of the Office of Electronic Communications (UKE), representatives of the telecommunications sector, technology providers, and infrastructure and data experts.

How can a state build digital resilience, and where does the boundary of technological independence lie? These questions were discussed by participants of the debate entitled "Sovereign and Secure IT as the Foundation of Risk Management,” organized by the National Chamber of Digital Economy. The event brought together representatives of public administration, the technology sector, academia, and institutions responsible for cybersecurity.

On May the 6th, the Geodetic and Cartographic Service Conference entitled "Geodesy - More Than Maps and Measurements. GNSS, Public Security and Technologies for Industry” took place in Ożarów Mazowiecki. The event was organized by the Head Office of Geodesy and Cartography (GUGiK). Representatives of public administration, academia, and the geodetic industry from across Poland attended the conference. The program focused on modern applications of satellite technologies, the security of critical infrastructure, and the growing importance of GNSS systems for the economy and public administration.

What technologies will shape our future? The National Institute of Telecommunications has published the "Technology Trends Report - March 2026.” It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the direction in which the global digital ecosystem is heading and what we should be preparing for.

Experts affiliated with the National Institute of Telecommunications are co-developing a tool that could significantly simplify complex decision-making. The new programming library, pymcdm, makes it possible to analyze problems in which many - often conflicting - criteria must be considered simultaneously.

The European Economic Congress 2026 in Katowice was a time of intensive discussions, important debates, and a strong expert presence for the National Institute of Telecommunications (NIT). Throughout the event, our stand attracted numerous guests: representatives of public administration, business, academia, and the new technology sector. It was a space for conversations about digitalisation, infrastructure, cybersecurity, telecommunications, and the role of the state in building a modern economy based on data and AI.

Is telecommunications still just a convenient service we pay for "like a cup of coffee”, or has it already become critical state infrastructure - as important as energy? Experts discussed the future of the telecommunications market in Poland and Europe during the panel "The Telecommunications Market in Poland and Europe” held as part of the European Economic Congress in Katowice. Among the participants was Anna Streżyńska, Director of the National Institute of Telecommunications (NIT).

During the European Economic Congress 2026, the panel "Infrastructure for Digitalisation - AI Factories” turned out to be one of those debates that go far beyond standard conference routine. Instead of repeating general statements about the potential of artificial intelligence, the participants quickly moved to concrete issues - money, energy, time, and decisions that are simply missing today. As a result, the discussion became less an analysis of trends and more a diagnosis of the current situation of Poland and Europe.

What does the global technological race look like today, and where do Europe and Poland stand within it? These are the questions addressed by the first report in a series prepared by analysts from the National Institute of Telecommunications (NIT), commissioned by the Ministry of Digital Affairs - and it immediately sets the bar high.

Not every working day begins with a conversation about the ionosphere, gradients, and the fact that our navigation systems may "get lost in space”. And yet, during yesterday's seminar at the National Institute of Telecommunications - NIT, this is exactly where the attention of several dozen participants turned.
