A Europe fit for the digital age

The Polish public administration has taken further steps to digitize the administration and modernize the public sphere. On January 21, 2021, GovTech Poland and Microsoft signed an agreement in Warsaw under which they will initiate joint projects. The way to streamline this process is to drive the adoption of cloud computing by public institutions to accelerate digital transformation as part of the response to the EU’s vision of a “Europe adapted to the digital age.” As part of the collaboration, the two sides will place special emphasis on creating a “Tech Fit 4 Europe”.

The purpose of using digital tools on a wider scale is to enable better connectivity with citizens through the use of various electronic services. It is also a chance to take concrete actions for building a better world in the future.

For years Poland has been becoming a faster growing digital market and public administration is not lagging behind. Our mission is that with the help of modern technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, to support not only the nearly half of Poles who regularly use the Internet to interact with the administration, but also all the others.” – Justyna Orłowska, Plenipotentiary of the Prime Minister for GovTech, Head of the GovTech Center.
