Poland is set to strengthen its presence in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector by hosting a critical debate on its economy. This event is scheduled for February 9, 2026, in Warsaw as part of the Eastern European Congress (EEC) Trends. Business, political, and academic leaders will gather to discuss Poland’s aspirations in AI development and innovation.
Poland’s AI Model: Bielik.AI
Bielik.AI is pioneering a new language model that will support multiple European languages. The latest version, Bielik 3.0, aims to include 30 different languages, enhancing accessibility for users across the continent. Sebastian Kondracki, co-founder of Bielik.AI, emphasized the commitment to open licensing, ensuring that advancements will be available to the public without restrictions.
Partnerships and Innovations
One of the key partnerships formed is with Nvidia, which has already produced exciting developments. In collaboration with Nvidia, Bielik.AI is working to create a new AI model that is both cost-effective and efficient. This collaboration is not just about technology; it symbolizes Poland’s growing ambition to compete on a global scale in AI.
Support from InPost
A significant initiative for audience engagement is the partnership with InPost. The chatbot Bielik.AI has been integrated into the InPost Mobile application, allowing users to interact with the model for free. This engagement is pivotal for refining the AI through real user interactions, with the campaign “Nakarm Bielika” gathering input from over 15 million app users.

The Future of AI in Poland
Bielik.AI is more than just a project; it represents a shift in how Polish technology can evolve. The initiative aims to cultivate local expertise and to avoid reliance on foreign consultants or technology. This homegrown approach allows for more agile development, responding swiftly to the evolving digital landscape.
The project faces challenges in funding, particularly in areas outside of AI development. Kondracki notes that while they operate pro bono for much of Bielik’s development, financial support for necessary administrative functions is still essential.
Encouraging Community Participation
For Poland to thrive in AI, broad community involvement is crucial. The team encourages citizens to contribute by sharing data, which could serve as valuable training material for the AI model. Encouragement to submit feedback on AI responses is also vital for continued improvement.
As the rollout of Bielik 3.0 progresses and community contributions grow, Poland’s potential in the AI landscape may indeed position it alongside established global players. The ambition is not just to participate but to excel and innovate in the AI sector.
