Why do Poles choose foreign technologies more often?
The latest report prepared by CyberDefence24 points to a significant problem in the Polish technology market. Although Poland has qualified specialists, dynamically developing IT companies, and great innovative potential, we remain dependent on foreign solutions in many key areas.
Experts point out that Polish enterprises and public institutions often choose products originating from other countries. This phenomenon stems from several reasons, such as the greater recognition of global brands, habituation to already known systems, or the belief that foreign software is more reliable. As a result, domestic technology companies have difficulty breaking through in their own market.
Dependence on foreign technologies can pose a challenge to the country's digital security. In an era of growing cyber threats, possessing one's own independent IT solutions is becoming a priority for state sovereignty. The authors of the report emphasize that supporting local innovation is essential for Poland to fully utilize its economic potential.
To change this situation, better cooperation between the IT sector and state administration is needed. Promoting Polish products and investing in domestic research can help build a stronger position for our companies. The development of our own technologies is not only an opportunity for economic growth but also a way to increase the security of all users in Poland.
