Abstract

This study investigates Poland’s potential to revolutionize its infrastructure development by adapting lessons from India’s digital transformation in public procurement. Using a comparative case study methodology analyzing data from 2015–2024, the research examines India’s Government e-Marketplace (GeM), blockchain integration, and AI-driven analytics, evaluating their applicability to Poland’s context. Findings reveal opportunities for Poland to enhance efficiency, transparency, and cost-effectiveness in
procurement, with potential savings of 15–25% and a 40% reduction in procurement cycle times. Key recommendations include upgrading the e-Zamówienia platform, implementing a national digital skills program, and phased integration of advanced technol-
ogies. The study highlights South-North knowledge transfer challenges, including EU regulatory alignment and digital skills gaps. It contributes to digital transformation literature by offering insights into adapting large-scale initiatives across diverse socio-eco-
nomic contexts, addressing the gap in comparative studies between emerging and developed economies. Future research directions include longitudinal studies on economic impacts and comparative analyses with other EU states, focusing on regulatory harmo- nization and technology adoption rates.
