The Polish Agency for Enterprise Development (PARP) has announced its strategic priorities for 2025, focusing on digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI), and cybersecurity as key pillars of business support.
One of the main objectives is the adoption of AI-driven solutions to enhance the competitiveness of Polish SMEs through automation, data analysis, and machine learning. The FENG (European Funds for a Modern Economy) program will be the primary funding instrument, allocating PLN 1.4 billion for projects related to digitalization and AI integration in production and decision-making processes.
At the same time, cybersecurity will be a strategic investment area, with funding dedicated to the implementation of advanced digital protection solutions to shield businesses from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. The FENG and FERS (European Funds for Social Development) programs will support the development of IT security systems, specialist training, and the establishment of resilient digital infrastructures.
In 2025, PARP plans to launch 19 calls for proposals totaling PLN 2.2 billion, with a strong emphasis on AI and cybersecurity as essential components of Poland’s economic modernization.
