Numeum and Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers Announce Closer France–Poland Cooperation on Strategic Digital Technologies

Numeum, France’s leading digital industry association, and the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers (ZPP), Poland’s leading national business organisation, announce their intention to deepen cooperation between the French and Polish digital ecosystems. 

This cooperation is aligned with the implementation of the Treaty on Enhanced Cooperation and Friendship between Warsaw and Paris, signed on 9 May 2025 in Nancy, and with the broader agenda to strengthen French–Polish economic, investment, and industrial ties. In this context, both organisations see a clear opportunity to support closer business dialogue on strategic digital technologies, including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, advanced computing, and data infrastructure.

As artificial intelligence, advanced computing, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure and quantum technologies become increasingly interconnected, strengthening collaboration between innovation ecosystems will be essential to maintaining competitiveness and technological resilience.

The priorities identified by both governments – including research and development, commercialisation, talent development, intellectual property protection, supply chain resilience, and trusted international partnerships – are closely aligned with the challenges currently facing the digital sector in our countries.

Building on their longstanding relationship, Numeum and the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers are committed to deepening cooperation between the French and Polish technology ecosystems.

Together, both organisations will work to:

• Strengthen business-to-business connections between French and Polish technology companies;
• Promote collaboration on strategic technologies, including quantum, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, cloud, and advanced computing;
• Support policy dialogue on digital resilience and trusted technology partnerships;
• Foster closer links between industry, research institutions, and public authorities;
• Identify opportunities for joint innovation, investment, and market development.

Thibault de Tersant, Vice-President of Numeum, said:

“As digital technologies become more critical and interdependent, resilience is no longer optional. Strengthening cooperation between Poland and France is key to ensuring robust, secure, and adaptable digital ecosystems in Europe.”

Jakub Bińkowski, Vice President, Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers, said:

“Polish-French cooperation needs a strong business track. Together with Numeum, we want to help companies from both countries move from dialogue to concrete projects, partnerships, and investment.”

As strategic technologies become increasingly central to economic competitiveness and national resilience, cooperation between trusted partners will be more important than ever.

Numeum and the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers stand ready to support the implementation of this shared vision and to strengthen long-term collaboration between the French and Polish digital sectors.

The Conference “Europe-Poland-Ukraine: Cooperate Together’26” Took Place in Kyiv

On 11 June 2026, the “Europe-Poland-Ukraine: Cooperate Together’26” conference was held at the Hyatt Regency Kyiv. The event brought together representatives of public administration, business, and organizations from Poland and Ukraine, providing a platform for discussions on Ukraine’s European integration, economic cooperation, and the country’s post-war reconstruction.

This year’s edition of the conference focused on institutional cooperation related to Ukraine’s accession process to the European Union and the implementation of projects financed under the Ukraine Facility instrument. The agenda included panel discussions on Ukraine’s integration into the EU Single Market, infrastructure reconstruction, and cooperation in the energy sector.

One of the key highlights of the conference was a fireside chat with Taras Kachka, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, who emphasized that Ukraine’s EU integration has entered a new phase. According to him, the question is no longer whether Ukraine will become a member of the European Union, but how quickly the accession process will move forward.

A strong message of support for Ukraine’s European aspirations also came from Poland. Piotr Łukasiewicz, Chargé d’Affaires of the Republic of Poland in Ukraine, reaffirmed Poland’s unequivocal support for Ukraine’s integration into the European Union, stressing that this commitment is unconditional. His statement underscored the strategic nature of Polish-Ukrainian cooperation and the shared responsibility for the security and development of the region.

Once again, the conference served as a platform for exchanging experiences, building partnerships, and developing joint solutions to address the challenges arising from Russia’s full-scale military aggression against Ukraine.

Since its inception, the “Cooperate Together” conference series has aimed to foster lasting relationships between the business communities of Europe, Poland, and Ukraine while supporting cooperation in the reconstruction and modernization of the Ukrainian economy. This year’s edition confirmed that collaboration between public institutions and the private sector remains one of the key factors for the success of this process.

The conference was held under the Honorary Patronage of the Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH).

Main Partner of the Conference: KredoBank S.A.
