AI in Poland, appeal from the EU industry, record profits of banks

The podcast covers the growth of AI in Poland, the appeal from the European industry for urgent changes to counter deindustrialization, and discusses the record profits of banks.

In the latest episode of the podcast "Your Business," the focus is on the development of the AI sector in Poland, revealing that by 2025, there were 14,500 registered AI-related businesses in the country. However, after accounting for those that have ceased operations, over 13,000 remain active, making up about 6% of the entire IT market. The growth of this industry is primarily attributed to small enterprises and sole proprietorships. Despite this growth, a recent analysis indicates that only 31% of the smallest firms are utilizing AI solutions or CRM systems, highlighting a gap that needs to be addressed for greater competitiveness in the market.

Additionally, the podcast discusses an industrial summit held in Antwerp, attended by prominent figures such as Emmanuel Macron and Ursula von der Leyen. During this summit, over 900 companies expressed urgent calls for measures to halt the ongoing deindustrialization of Europe. Proposed initiatives include the establishment of a 100 billion euro European Fund for the Decarbonization of Industry and efforts to lower energy prices. These discussions reflect a growing concern among European industries to retain their competitive edge amidst changing global economic dynamics.

Finally, the podcast touches upon the record profits of banks, indicating a contrasting scenario within the financial sector in comparison to the challenges faced by industries striving to innovate and adapt. This dichotomy raises questions about the balance between financial prosperity and the industrial challenges in the EU region.
