In this episode of 300Gospodarki talks, Katarzyna Mokrzycka's guest is Justyna Orłowska, the Prime Minister's Plenipotentiary for GovTech, Head of the GovTech Centre.

The "Future Lab" is accepting applications for co-financing the purchase of digital equipment for all 15,000 Polish primary schools. Starting from September 2022, specific modern devices from a long list of possibilities (to choose from) will be mandatory equipment in schools. The GovTech Centre will distribute PLN 1 billion among them, as explained to us by Justyna Orłowska, the head of this institution.

The Ministry of Education is focusing on the development of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) among the youngest, i.e., sciences aimed at increasing creativity and technological development. The process of expanding experimental teaching will be preceded by broadening teachers' digital competencies, and private entities are also involved in activating them.

In this episode, Emilia Derewienko speaks with Tomasz Kobierski, CEO of the Poznań International Fair.

60,000 people left the event industry during the pandemic; a COVID passport could offer a chance to rebuild the sector.

"I believe introducing a COVID passport for entry to conferences and trade fairs will be necessary," says Tomasz Kobierski.

In this episode of our talks, Emilia Derewienko is joined by Marta Wrochna-Łastowska, CFO of Żabka Polska. Our editor asked her how Żabka works to increase women's participation in employment and combat inequality in the labor market.

Marta Wrochna-Łastowska shared how the company supports women, who constitute 60 percent of the network's franchisees, in their personal development and in maintaining work-life balance.

She also spoke about the significant value of diversity in business and how creating diverse, inclusive teams improves a company's development dynamics.
