Poland makes G20 debut as full member
Poland participated in the G20 summit for the first time as a full member state. It was an opportunity to present Poland’s path of rapid development and strengthen the voice of Central and Eastern Europe among the world’s largest economies.
The G20 discussions in Raleigh focused on the impact of artificial intelligence on the functioning and future of the global economy, CE Report informs via the Ministry of Economic Development and Tecnology of the Republic of Poland's official website.
“Artificial intelligence needs more than data and algorithms. It needs energy, infrastructure, industry, talent and stable rules of the game. Poland wants to build these foundations so that AI becomes a source of economic growth, security and new opportunities for businesses,” Minister Domański said.
Stable foundations for AI development
According to Poland’s position, AI development requires not only technology but also strong industrial capacity, infrastructure and access to energy. The Polish delegation highlighted the importance of resilient and diversified supply chains, including nearshoring, as well as strengthening critical infrastructure security and improving access to raw materials.
Minister Domański stressed the key importance of developing reliable and predictable energy sources, including LNG, offshore wind and nuclear power, including small modular reactors (SMRs), while also integrating SMEs into value chains. He also highlighted the importance of cooperation between the civilian and defence sectors in developing new technologies.
Innovation, talent and intellectual property
Stable intellectual property protection frameworks are essential for investment in AI. The Polish delegation highlighted the country’s strong engineering base and growing innovation ecosystem.
The delegation stressed the need for efficient patent procedures adapted to the rapid pace of technological development, while maintaining a balance between protecting creators and inventors and ensuring an open research environment.
Minister Domański also emphasized that AI development should support secure and citizen-friendly digital infrastructure, including PLLuM and the mObywatel application.
Open standards and trust
AI standards were an important issue discussed during the G20 meeting. Poland supports open and transparent standards.
Developing rules for the use of artificial intelligence through cooperation between government, academia and business will help promote competition and support the development of SMEs. Particular importance is attached to protecting the credibility of information, including through content provenance verification and labeling AI-generated materials.
The Polish delegation also highlighted the need to develop AI metrology — objective measurement methods and benchmarks that will enable the safe deployment of new models.
Minister Domański stressed Poland’s ambition to actively participate in the international debate on the future of AI. As a dynamic economic hub in Central and Eastern Europe, Poland can serve as a bridge between regions and contribute its unique experience to the G20’s work.
Bilateral talks
Minister Domański’s visit to the United States also provided an opportunity for several bilateral meetings.
Talks with representatives of South Korea focused on the participation of Polish companies in defence procurement, battery production and nuclear energy. Discussions with the British delegation covered the integration of deep-tech ecosystems, cooperation in defence and dual-use technologies, and energy, including nuclear power.
