Poland has made a remarkable economic transformation, becoming the 20th largest economy in the world, with an annual output of over 1 trillion dollars. Since the arrangements during the communist period, when citizens earned only a tenth of German salaries, the Polish economy has grown steadily, averaging 3.8% annually since 2004. This evolution is due to factors such as building a solid institutional framework, access to European funds, and a political consensus on integration into the European Union.
Joanna Kowalska, an engineer from Poznan, exemplifies this change, choosing to return to Poland for opportunities in the field of artificial intelligence. Although challenges persist, such as an aging population and salaries lower than the EU average, Poland continues to attract investments and develop technological innovations. Local authorities emphasize the importance of education and support for youth, while also recognizing the contribution of immigrants to economic development.
