Poland

According to the Digital Decade report 2026, Poland is at 50.42% of individuals aged 16-74 with at least basic digital skills after an increase of 6.7% annually since 2023, when the figure stood at 44.3%.

2026 Digital Decade Eurobarometer report for Poland reflects Polish citizens' attitudes, priorities, and concerns regarding digital rights, AI, and the EU's digital policy goals based on research conducted between February and March 2026.

Poland is progressing well in digitalisation, particularly in continuously improving the availability of digital public services.  

Poland has a National coalition for digital skills and jobs led by the Polish Information Processing Society, PIPS (Polskie Towarzystwo Informatyczne, PTI).

At the state level, Poland has implemented several strategies and initiatives. The Digital Competence Development Program aims to enhance digital competences for all individuals, both ordinary users and ICT specialists, through various activities and priorities. The Cybersecurity Strategy of the Republic of Poland focuses on increasing information system resilience and protecting information in all sectors. 

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. For instance, Lekcja: Enter, supported by the Orange Foundation, assists in developing digital skills and preventing digital exclusion through programs like Mega Mission and #Superkoderzy. 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.
