Under the Poland recovery and resilience plan, significant investments are allocated to support digital transition. This includes digitalizing public administration, ensuring high-speed internet access and 5G network deployment, digitalizing education, and strengthening cybersecurity capacity. 

Various initiatives contribute to digital skills development and inclusion.

The projekt "Szansa - nowe możliwości dla dorosłych" focuses on supporting adults in acquiring basic digital skills. 

Despite the challenges, Poland is actively working on improving its digital skills landscape, fostering digital inclusion, and supporting the digital transition in key sectors.
