Malopolskie voivodeship, centred on Krakow, hosts several universities with active AI research programmes, including Jagiellonian University and AGH University of Krakow, both offering AI-focused degree programmes. Krakow’s established IT outsourcing sector increasingly incorporates AI services. The region benefits from Poland’s national AI strategy and EU-funded digital innovation hubs.

No Malopolskie-specific AI education mandate, workforce training obligation, or subnational governance body has been identified.

Who it affects: University students and researchers in the Krakow area; IT sector workers.

What is notably missing: No voivodeship-level AI literacy policy, teacher training programme, school curriculum mandate, or workforce training obligation.
