For the second time, the City of Łódź – this time as the only Polish representative – will be showcasing itself at the VivaTech trade fair in Paris with its own exhibition stand and a selection of start-ups. This is an excellent platform for jointly promoting Polish technology companies, innovative solutions and the expertise of the entire TechPL ecosystem.
The awards ceremony for the second edition of the competition for the best AI-related dissertations took place on 14 May 2026 in Warsaw. As the Digital Poland Foundation, we were honoured to be a strategic partner of this initiative and the sponsor of the social sciences (non-technical) category.
Just a few years ago, artificial intelligence was primarily a technological curiosity, or even a sensation. Today, it is increasingly becoming a common tool for artistic expression, inspiring artists to experiment with form, emotions, and storytelling techniques. It was at this very moment that the winners of the 6th edition of Digital Ars—the first nationwide competition dedicated to art created using AI—were announced. Organized for the past six years by the Digital Poland Foundation, the project has demonstrated from the very beginning that artificial intelligence in the hands of creators can be much more than just a technological curiosity.
During the PE Insights Poland-CE conference, experts and market leaders analysed the future of our innovation ecosystem. During the debate on the findings of the Digital Champions CEE report, speakers highlighted a major structural shift: the market’s transition from traditional digital services towards deep tech, artificial intelligence and space technologies. Participants also addressed the key challenge of capital outflow and discussed how to effectively finance the growth of the fastest-growing companies, so that Central and Eastern Europe can nurture its own global players rather than merely serving as a research and development base for Western markets.
The Digital Poland Foundation has published the fifth edition of the Digital Champions CEE 2026 report, which presents the 100 most valuable technology companies in Central and Eastern Europe. The combined value of the digital champions in the ranking reached USD 127.9 billion. However, the data paints a picture of a market which, on the one hand, is growing thanks to deep tech innovations, whilst on the other, is grappling with a wave of relocations of the largest companies outside the region.
Artificial intelligence is transforming our world at an unprecedented pace. On the one hand, it offers powerful support for medicine and business; on the other, it raises concerns about privacy, equality and our independence. In a world of algorithms, will we manage to preserve our well-being and agency? Dr Michał Boni spoke about the challenges of the digital age, smart regulation and the new currency that adaptability is becoming at this year’s European Economic Congress. We invite you to read the summary of the debate.

The invoicing revolution is now a reality. Although the National e-Invoicing System (KSeF) may sound like yet another regulatory challenge to many companies, it is in fact a powerful catalyst for business digitalisation and automation. The Digital Poland Foundation, in collaboration with Symfonia, has produced a comprehensive guide to help the SME sector navigate this change smoothly. Find out why it’s worth investing in digital foundations today and download our free guide.
We are proud to share the latest report from Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK) – "Digitalisation in the SME sector. What will accelerate the transformation?". The Digital Poland Foundation was honoured to play an active role in this project!
As many as 71% of Poles are willing to pay more for domestic or European technologies, 56% consider technological sovereignty a priority, and 57% are in favour of building technological autonomy based solely on domestic or EU resources – according to a nationwide public opinion survey conducted by NielsenIQ on behalf of the Digital Poland Foundation. The report “Technological Sovereignty of Poland and Europe. 2026 Edition” presents the level of public awareness and determination in the face of Europe’s growing dependence on technological giants from outside the continent. At the same time, it highlights the actions of nine other countries and the consequences of this dependence for Poland in the form of a huge trade deficit.
Polish companies have huge digital ambitions, but their transformation still faces hidden barriers. What is holding them back and how can we change this? Join us for the exclusive premiere of the latest report by Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego on the digitisation of SMEs and a panel discussion with market leaders, public administration representatives and the management board of the Digital Poland Foundation. Discover data that will change our perspective on the development of technology in Polish business.
