As part of the meeting held in Karpacz, Minister Gawkowski presented the Polish experience regarding the digitization of government services and highlighted the impressive transformation of Poland, especially in relation to the use of open data.

Cooperation with experienced partners like Poland and private investments in the IT sector will help us achieve that goal, improving services for the citizens, boosting the economy and building a better international reputation of the country,” Minister Andonovski said.

Both Ministers agreed to intensify cooperation in the field of digital transformation in the future, exchanging ideas and good practices for the modernization of the public sector.
