Poland 2030. Development challenges For the past 20 years the direction and the dynamics of Poland’s development was driven by transformations and European aspirations. Political changes triggered increase in democracy and introduction of market economy, whereas integration with the European Union positioned Poland as a major member of the Community. Today, our country is in need of another civilisational project – a new compass of development. To address this need, the report „Poland 2030. Development challenges” was drawn up by a team of strategic advisors to PM Donald Tusk. The report was presented on 17 June 2009 in the modern settings of Warsaw University Library.
„Poland 2030. Development challenges” lists 10 key challenges to be faced by Poland over the next two decades – growth and competitive edge of the economy, demographic developments, high professional activity and adaptability of labour resources, adequate infrastructural potential, energy and climatic safety, knowledge-based economy and development of intellectual capital, solidarity and regional cohesion, enhancement of social cohesion, efficient state, and increase in the social capital. Response to those challenges will drive the country’s development, the pace of economic growth, the status of Poles and the position of Poland on the economic and the social map of Europe.
The report features an analysis of the current standing of Poland in those areas and indicates guidelines for the state policy to meet development challenges – evade threats and fully capitalise on the emerging prospects and chances. It also identifies the path for sustainable development of Poland aligned to the polarisation diffusion model.
The document lists five key drivers which may facilitate meeting these challenges: development of conditions for swift increase in investments, growth in professional activity and mobility of Poles, boost in productivity and innovations, effective diffusion on the regional and social level as well as reinforcement of the social capital and efficiency of the state.
„Report Poland 2030 marks the beginning of the public debate on our future. Today, after twenty years of changes, the time has come to focus our energy on a new civilisational project. The time has come to write another page in Poland’s history. While continuing to explore freedom regained on 4 June 1989, we must look into the future” – wrote Donald Tusk in the introduction.
Presentation of this report initiated a series of debates and discussions focusing on the strategic development targets of Poland.
