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.
The official premiere of the latest report by Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego is approaching. Report is devoted to the digitisation of Polish enterprises. The event will be accompanied by a panel discussion with representatives of public administration, development institutions, technology providers and foundations.
The latest BGK study paints a fascinating, albeit challenging, picture of Polish business. The document reveals a clear paradox: despite considerable ambitions and investment plans, digital transformation in SMEs is often slow. The vast majority of companies stop at the stage of selective implementations, often neglecting to measure the real effects of their actions. Specific data? You will find out at the event and in the report.
How widespread is this phenomenon? What specific barriers, from market uncertainty and the skills gap to issues of tailored financing, are holding Polish companies back the most? And which systemic measures can best accelerate change? You will be the first to learn all these key data, statistics and conclusions during the official presentation of the report. During the expert panel accompanying the premiere, we will look for specific solutions.
