Digital sovereignty does not mean that we have to produce everything ourselves. It means that, in key areas, the state, the economy, and citizens cannot be dependent on decisions made outside of Europe.
How can we strike a balance between the digital and real worlds? The best thing to do is to get out of the house and spend time together. This Sunday, 20 September, the PGE Narodowy grounds will be transformed into Warsaw’s largest space for family fun, sport and education. As the event’s media partner, we encourage you to put your smartphones away and enjoy a real offline adventure.
Disinformation has become one of the most serious challenges to the information security of democratic states. False narratives influence citizens’ decisions, undermine trust in public institutions and the media, and can affect electoral processes. During a panel discussion on defending Poland’s infosphere, organised by the Digital Poland Foundation as part of the 35th Economic Forum in Karpacz, representatives from public administration, experts, regulators, fact-checking organisations and the media discussed the scale of the problem and ways to counter disinformation in Poland.
The draft ‘Digital Competence Development Programme for 2030’ accurately identifies the challenges associated with developing the digital competences of the Polish population, but fails to show how the planned measures are intended to lead to the achievement of the ambitious goals of the Digital Decade. The comments presented highlight the need to introduce measures to assess the effectiveness of public spending, annual milestones, systemic reforms and better use of local institutions and educational tools, so that the programme becomes a genuine instrument for managing change, rather than merely a collection of initiatives funded by various institutions.
From 8 to 10 September 2026, Karpacz will once again become a hub for debate thanks to the 35th Economic Forum. This year’s edition, whose theme is ‘The Architecture of a New Order – Stability in Times of Change’, will bring together over 6,000 guests, as well as political and economic leaders from around the world. The Digital Poland Foundation has been actively supporting this unique event for many years as its official partner. We invite you to take a look at the programme and join the discussion on our shared future.
Over 660 articles in the international press and a potential global reach of nearly 141 million. Our latest, 5th edition of the Digital Champions CEE report has been widely covered in the international media. From Reuters, through the iconic *TIME* magazine, to business giants such as *Fortune*, *Forbes* and *USA Today*. Find out how, together with the report’s partners, including the law firm Baker McKenzie, we have successfully channelled the global business community’s attention towards the potential of technology companies in the Central and Eastern European region.
We have had an exceptionally busy few days and witnessed one of the most important market events of the year. During the international “Capital for Growth” conference, organised in Warsaw by Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, our managing director, Piotr Mieczkowski, officially presented the findings of the fifth edition of the “Digital Champions CEE 2026” report
The latest research shows that as many as 77 per cent of Poles have encountered digital disinformation, and 79 per cent believe that its scale on the internet has increased over the last five years. During the official launch of the report, leading experts, chaired by Dr Michał Boni, discussed how disinformation and influence operations undermine national security, democratic processes and trust in public institutions. The panellists were in agreement — effective defence requires firm, immediate action and shared responsibility on the part of the government, the tech sector, the media and fact-checking organisations.
Disinformation is no longer a marginal phenomenon and is no longer limited to isolated instances of fake news circulating online. The third edition of the report “Disinformation through the Eyes of Poles”, prepared by the Digital Poland Foundation as part of the “Together Against Disinformation” coalition, reveals that 77 per cent of Poles have encountered disinformation, whilst 79 per cent believe that its scale on the internet has increased over the last five years. Furthermore, 75 per cent of respondents regard disinformation as a serious problem, whilst 47 per cent compare influence operations to the threat posed by a conventional military attack. This is a clear signal that information resilience is becoming one of the key prerequisites for national security, democracy and public trust.
Generative artificial intelligence is a game-changer in education, affecting our cognitive abilities more rapidly and profoundly than any other invention in history. Yet, amidst the media hype and the tangled web of commercial interests, the reliable, evidence-based voice of experts is increasingly being drowned out. The response to this crisis is the second edition of the nationwide conference ‘GenAI in Education — Isegoria’, which will take place on 24 June 2026 in Wrocław. Under the patronage of the Digital Poland Foundation, leading specialists, practitioners and students will come together to discuss, in a spirit of open dialogue, systemic changes, change management, STEM education and the skills of the future in a synthetic world. Find out more about this groundbreaking event and discover why you simply cannot afford to miss it.

The European Commission has published its latest ‘State of the Digital Decade’ report, summarising the year 2026. How is digital Europe developing, and where does Poland stand in this race? On the one hand, we can boast excellent e-services and rapid expansion of fibre-optic networks, but on the other, our business sector remains cautious about artificial intelligence, and key infrastructure investments are at risk of losing funding in the near future.
