Earlier this May, a team from Ardigen had the opportunity to attend the AWS Summit Poland 2025 in Katowice — one of the region’s most prominent cloud and tech gatherings. With over 50 thematic sessions, 35 customer-led talks, and countless discussions around innovation in compute, storage, and data services, this year’s event was a great pulse check on where cloud adoption is heading — especially for healthcare and life sciences organizations.
Our representatives: Piotr Faba, Tomasz Krawiec, Bartłomiej Król-Józaga, Michał Drwal, and Przemysław Sagało, joined leaders, engineers, and partners from across industries to learn, connect, and reflect on how cloud technologies are shaping digital transformation in Poland and beyond.
Here are some key highlights and impressions from the event.
The Polish cloud landscape: Stronger and more local than ever
This year’s keynote opened with a clear message: Poland is no longer just catching up with cloud adoption — it’s helping lead the way. According to AWS, every two minutes, a Polish company begins its cloud journey, and over 740,000 businesses in the country are already using generative tools or cloud-based data solutions.
AWS also marked its 10th year of presence in Poland, underscoring local investments in infrastructure, training programs, and partnerships — including a dedicated Polish service zone and deep collaborations with over 100 companies. The scale and commitment behind these efforts have had a measurable impact: over 70,000 jobs created, 100,000+ individuals trained in digital technologies, and local innovations tailored specifically to the Polish market — such as support for the złoty and Polish-language tools like Amazon Connect and Lex.
Innovation in action: What the talks revealed
The sessions we attended explored a variety of themes — from cloud-native development to secure data sharing and compute optimization. A strong throughline across the talks was the practical application of cloud tools to real-world problems.
One standout case came from RadPoint, a Polish company that’s reshaping the way radiology is practiced and delivered. Their cloud-based platform connects hospitals with radiologists across Poland, helping shorten diagnosis times and reduce geographic barriers to care. It’s currently used by nearly half of the country’s radiologists, handling over 4 billion medical images.
Their platform leverages AWS building blocks like Amazon S3 for storage, ECS for scalable infrastructure, and encryption tools for data protection. Notably, their work also supported Poland’s National Lung Cancer Screening Program, demonstrating how cloud-based systems can serve public health at scale.
RadPoint also gave a glimpse of their next steps: a clinical assistant tool built to support radiologists in daily workflows, designed with safeguards to ensure privacy and trust — a good example of technology complementing rather than replacing expert decision-making.
From ground-level compute to strategic vision
The second half of the keynote walked through how AWS builds the foundation for all of this innovation — from its own silicon (like the Graviton and Trainium chips) to purpose-built tools for data storage, analytics, and model training. More than just speed or scale, the focus was on flexibility and control — the ability for organizations to tailor cloud infrastructure to their specific needs, whether that’s meeting compliance requirements, analyzing large datasets, or supporting collaborative research.
For companies like Ardigen, this flexibility is essential. The challenges we address in immunology, drug discovery, and clinical research demand secure environments for sensitive data, as well as the ability to scale experimentation and manage complex analytical workflows. The sessions at AWS Summit reinforced the importance of choosing the right tools for the job — not just the latest.
What we’re taking back to Ardigen
Events like the AWS Summit aren’t just about technology — they’re about ideas, conversations, and learning how other organizations are solving familiar problems. It was energizing to see how companies across healthcare and biotech are using cloud services to push boundaries, improve access, and drive results with reliability and speed.
For Ardigen, it was a valuable opportunity to:
- Explore how leading healthcare organizations handle large-scale data securely and efficiently
- Learn more about advancements in cloud-native development and workload optimization
- Connect with partners and peers in the AWS ecosystem
As we continue to grow our capabilities and infrastructure, insights from this summit will help us make better decisions about the tools we use and how we build scalable, secure, and meaningful solutions for our partners.
Let’s keep the conversation going
To everyone we met at the event — thank you for the great conversations and shared inspiration. And to those who couldn’t attend: we’d be happy to share more about what we saw, heard, and learned.
