  • Choose your battles: Digital Agenda for Poland and V4

    During her presentation, Minister Buk will advocate for close V4 cooperation in creating a data economy. Building virtual data warehouses will provide a real opportunity for V4 countries to boost their economic growth. It will among others serve the development of the AI technology. For this initiative to have a genuine economic impact, it should involve all members of the Visegrad Group. Given the ongoing budgetary negotiations and works on a new digital agenda, the V4 states should come together and promote a uniform view of digitalization.
