Polish government pushes tech sovereignty test with industry support

The Polish government is drafting a "technological sovereignty test" that would assess and potentially restrict the use of big‑tech products and services in state procurement, aiming to reduce digital dependence on global suppliers such as the United States and China. Domestic businesses have voiced backing for the measure, seeing it as a way to boost local ICT firms, though some experts caution about implementation challenges and market impacts.

In parallel, the long‑standing IT provider Suntar has become an associate member of the Digital Poland Union (Związek Cyfrowa Polska), one of the country’s largest industry associations. The union participates in consultations on regulation, digital administration, cyber‑security and AI adoption, giving members a platform to influence policy. Suntar’s entry underscores the growing involvement of Polish tech firms in shaping the nation’s digital agenda.
