en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Polish Council of Ministers has adopted the country's first National Digitalization Strategy (Strategia Cyfryzacji Państwa), setting the goal of making Poland a leader in digitalization within the European Union by 2035. As the first strategy of its kind in Polish history, the document aims to provide a long-term framework for the country's digital transformation.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digitalization Krzysztof Gawkowski stated that digitalization has long been a field for experts, but the new strategy changes this approach, emphasizing that technology should serve everyone and build a proactive state that does not request data twice and provides support when citizens need it. The new strategy will replace the previous National Comprehensive Informatization Plan (Program Zintegrowanej Informatyzacji Państwa) for 2019-2022, with its core goal being to simplify citizens' daily lives and reduce the negative impacts of technology. Gawkowski noted that the vision described in the strategy includes a state where affairs can be handled through a single declaration, paper is eliminated, and redundant administrative processes are discarded.
Deputy Minister of Digitalization Dariusz Standerski stated that the strategy ends the era of fragmented development of digital services and sets specific targets: achieving 100% digitalization of key public services by 2030, enabling 85% of Poles to acquire basic digital skills by 2035, and increasing digitalization spending to 5% of GDP. The strategy emphasizes that digital services must be designed for all users, including the elderly and people with special needs, and covers security aspects such as child and adolescent protection, citizens' digital rights, and technological sovereignty.
The strategy organizes actions around four key areas: cybersecurity, coordination of digital transformation, electronic communications, and future skills for the state, citizens, and businesses. Among these, cybersecurity ensures user safety, while coordination of digital transformation is based on the National Information Architecture (Architektura Informacyjna Państwa, AIP)—a bill establishing the AIP was signed by President Karol Nawrocki in August 2025. The AIP is a strategic approach to managing national information systems and resources, aiming to build a coherent and efficient system that provides high-quality services to citizens and businesses.
In terms of funding, Minister of Digitalization Gawkowski stated at the press conference that Poland's digitalization spending in 2025 accounts for 0.8% of GDP, with plans to invest 100 billion zloty annually in digital transformation after 2030, covering businesses, state institutions, and research and development. The implementation of the strategy will be overseen by the Information Commissioner and the Digitalization Committee, with a validity period of ten years and a regular review every two years.
