What Koalicja na rzecz Polskich Innowacji does

Koalicja na rzecz Polskich Innowacji (KPI; legally Fundacja Koalicji na Rzecz Polskich Innowacji) is a Warsaw-based non-profit foundation established in 2015 that operates as a cross-sector innovation ecosystem facilitator rather than a product company. With approximately 10 employees, KPI convenes 100+ member companies, research institutions, and public bodies through four active working groups (Blockchain, AI/Innowacyjna Inteligencja Polska, Legal Tech, and the International Expansion Board) and has accumulated 500+ hours of expert and working-group sessions. The foundation does not develop proprietary technology; its core capability is coordinating publicly funded programs, notably WAMA EDIH (a European Digital Innovation Hub for SME digital transformation in the Warmian-Masurian and Mazovian voivodeships, co-funded by the EU Digital Europe Programme and the European Funds for Modern Economy), the DIGITRANS World Bank-managed grant programme (up to 30,000 PLN per SME), the free Transformacja MSP e-learning platform with seven modules, the Code4Europe national hub for EU Code Week, and the Science Leaders Board that links 10 elite Polish scientists with corporate co-investors (Intel, Orange, Google, Dell, Ericsson, Flex).

KPI's technology function is service orchestration: it administers the Digital Maturity Assessment (DMA) used to benchmark Polish SMEs, packages partner-supplied AI, cybersecurity, HPC, and digital-skills services through a searchable WAMA EDIH service catalogue, and delivers training content covering generative AI, predictive analytics, computer vision (via Orange demonstrations), and chatbot/virtual-assistant implementations (e.g., Emplocity Intrabot). Its consortium spans 20+ delivery partners including CRIDO, Intel Technology Poland, the Warmia-Mazury Regional Development Agency, the University of Warsaw DELab, the National Centre for Nuclear Research, 7bulls.com, Ecorys, Edtechhub, VT Cyber, Digital Creative Cluster, Innteo, the Foundation of Technology Entrepreneurship, and the Global AI Alliance Foundation.

The foundation's business model is grant- and programme-funded, with revenues in the form of EU and national co-funding disbursements and programme management fees, supplemented by corporate co-investment in flagship initiatives. Services to Polish SMEs are delivered free or subsidised under de minimis aid frameworks; no commercial product revenue is generated. Governance is provided by a management board led by President Marcin Czyża and Vice-President Amelia Szukowska, with a supervisory board drawn from Bearlake Group, MITEF Poland, Confederation Lewiatan, 7bulls.com, CRIDO, and the PKO Bank Polski Foundation.
