Polish business and administration passed the digitization exam last year: Anna Streżyńska

Almost 3.4 million Poles have established a Trusted Profile since the beginning of this year, which is the key to e-administration services. In turn, the data of the Central Statistical Office (GUS)  show that in the pandemic 2020, nearly 42 percent of Poles aged 16-74  public administration services via the Internet. Former Minister of Digitization, Anna Streżyńska, estimates that Poland is making rapid progress in this area, but there is still a lot of catching up to do.

"The pandemic was indeed a giant digitization test for both business and administration. In my opinion, we passed the test, although there is always more to be done," Anna Streżyńska noted.

As she added, new solutions have already appeared, even e-mail is now in the documentary form and counts in turnover, but there are still barriers, for example in notarization.

The Trusted Profile, which is the key to e-administration services and enables online identity verification, is already used by more than 12 million Poles, of whom almost 3.4 million founded it this year. It's about 40 percent of adult citizens. Only in July, it was established by over 567,000 people, i.e. statistically an average of 18,000 every day.

"There are areas where something very cool has been done and it works. At the same time, the world is changing so fast that there is always a lot of catching up to do," Anna Streżyńska said.
