About the Project
In the context of a rapidly changing geopolitical and technological environment, security is also becoming a key aspect. This project creates a platform for dialogue and the exchange of knowledge and experience that is conducive to the analysis and development of effective strategies in this area. We integrate different industries - we talk about security cross-sectorally. Representatives from the world of politics, the economy, the military, local governments, experts from the IT and cyber-security industry, as well as energy, industry and telecommunications will meet in one place. Such a broad group will provide a comprehensive view of the broader security challenges. The Congress will feature the 20th anniversary edition of the Smart City Forum, the CISOs and CSOs Committee under the Polish Security Congress Program Council, additional closed thematic sessions and the Grand Gala.

PREVIOUS EDITION in Warsaw
The Polish Security Congress Program Council's co-chairs are Konrad Fijołek, President of the City of Rzeszów; Krzysztof Dyki, CEO of ComCERT; and Radosław Maćkiewicz, Director of the Central Informatics Center. The guest of honour was Krzysztof Gawkowski, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digitization. He emphasised the importance of cooperation between the state and business and the need to build resilience to cyber threats. In his speech, he noted that many issues should be considered from the perspective of potential armed conflicts.
The congress brought together experts from various fields, which enabled the exchange of experience and the development of strategies to strengthen Poland's resilience to threats. Special attention was paid to the construction of the “cyber shield” and preparations for the Polish presidency of the European Union in 2025. The debates focused on defence and cyber infrastructure integration and the development of key technologies. Topics covered included critical infrastructure security, technological sovereignty and the challenges of digital transformation. Participants stressed the importance of public-private cooperation and the role of local governments in providing security. Education in threat recognition and disinformation was also an important point.
Speeches by ministry representatives focused on financing, technological sovereignty, and optimising critical infrastructure investments. Discussions focused on modern technologies supporting telecommunications and energy security and the need for close cooperation between the public and private sectors. The Congress concluded with a panel on best practices in organisational management, where experts shared their experiences in protecting strategic data and infrastructure. This event was an important step toward better understanding and managing security challenges in Poland.
