What happened
The Chancellery of the President named Justyna Orłowska ambassador and special presidential representative for innovation and new technologies. Polish media reported that her responsibilities include special business relations with the United States.
Why it matters
A presidential appointment can change which office convenes companies, ministries, and foreign partners on technology issues. Because the portfolio includes US business relations, the move may affect near-term access, signalling, and coordination around digital policy, investment, and innovation cooperation.
President Karol Nawrocki appointed Justyna Orłowska as ambassador and special presidential representative for innovation and new technologies, according to Polish reporting on 2026-09-22. Her remit includes special business relations with the United States, creating a named channel inside the Presidential Palace for technology, innovation, and transatlantic commercial ties. The move is an institutional change rather than a policy package, but it can shape who coordinates technology diplomacy, investment outreach, and selected US-facing innovation initiatives in the near term.
