National Institute of Telecommunications

"Poland is becoming a leader in digital transformation. This is the result of the work of hundreds of experts and a shared vision of a modern state,"

- said Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski as he opened the debate. He emphasized that the future is built not individually, but through cooperation between administration, science, and business. In this context, the special role of the Institute of Communications was highlighted — Poland’s oldest scientific institute, which safeguards the country’s communication and satellite infrastructure, ensuring the stability of systems without which a modern state cannot exist.

The consultations were not an academic discussion but a series of very concrete conversations about the present and the future. Experts discussed breakthrough technologies, cybersecurity, GovTech tools, data management, the development of digital skills, and ways for the state system to operate faster, safer, and more predictably. This was not a conversation about “fashionable European trends” — it was a debate on how Poland can be resilient, efficient, and modern in a world that changes month by month.

Today’s meeting demonstrated one thing: Digital Poland is not an abstraction but a national project built through continuous knowledge exchange and collaboration. It is a Poland that not only responds to global changes — but begins to co-create them.

The event was attended by Anna Streżyńska, Director of the Institute of Communications – PIB, Prof. Mariusz J. Figurski, Deputy Director for Scientific Affairs and Wiesław Łodzikowski, Plenipotentiary of the Director for Strategic Projects.

We thank the Ministry of Digital Affairs for the invitation and today’s inspiring discussion. We wish you success in implementing further ambitious projects that will build a modern, secure, and digitally sovereign Poland.
