Digital Garden Party. Poland’s digital sector wraps up the first half of the year and looks ahead to an active Autumn
The first six months of the year brought numerous important discussions on the future of European digital policy, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, digital education and Europe’s competitiveness. Digital Garden Party created a space for informal conversations, knowledge sharing and relationship-building between representatives of business, government and the wider technology community.
“The past few months have been exceptionally busy, filled with important events, meetings and discussions about the future of the digital economy. Before the summer break, we organised this gathering for the first time to give representatives of the entire digital ecosystem an opportunity to meet in a more informal atmosphere, discuss common challenges and build new connections. It is through this kind of cooperation that ideas are transformed into concrete initiatives and real action,” said Michał Kanownik, President of the Digital Poland Association.
The event brought together representatives of the Association’s member companies, public institutions, partner organisations and the broader technology sector. It also served as an opportunity to thank all partners for their commitment to joint initiatives carried out during the first half of the year – from projects supporting digital education and future skills, through cybersecurity initiatives, to activities aimed at strengthening Poland’s innovative and competitive digital economy.
What’s next in Autumn 2026?
The months ahead promise to be just as busy. In September, the Digital Poland Association will host CEE Digital Summit Warsaw 2026, one of the leading events dedicated to the future of digital Europe and the role of Central and Eastern Europe in shaping the continent’s digital agenda.
At the same time, during the Economic Forum in Karpacz, the Association will once again organise the Digital Poland House, hosting a series of high-level debates on the future of digital transformation, technological innovation, public policy, cybersecurity and Europe’s competitiveness.
The Association’s autumn agenda will also include the Digital Education Forum (Forum Cyfrowej Edukacji), an event dedicated to the future of education in the era of emerging technologies. Policymakers, educators, technology companies and experts will discuss the development of digital skills, the use of artificial intelligence in education and the next stage of Poland’s digital transformation in schools.
