How will the monopoly of big corporations change? The government will introduce a ‘technological sovereignty test’

▤ Summary

Poland is preparing a new ‘technological sovereignty test’ for public IT purchases. The mechanism will review public projects funded or co-funded with state money to assess dependency risks on foreign vendors and the loss of control over sensitive data. It will apply to government technology orders above 5 million złoty and infrastructure projects above 15 million złoty. Local tech firms support the move, but they want clear technical rules so the test works for AI, cloud, cybersecurity, and software procurement. The proposal aims to reduce vendor concentration and protect state systems from disruption or foreign pressure.
