Abstract
The main aim of this article is to present the position of the Polish economy in comparison to the Member States of the European Union. The evaluation is based on the World Bank’s Knowledge Assessment Methodology (KAM) that produces the Knowledge Economy Index (KEI) – an aggregate index representing a country’s or region’s overall preparedness to compete in the Knowledge Economy (KE). The KEI is based on a simple average of four sub-indexes, which represent the four pillars of the knowledge economy: 1) Economic Incentive and Institutional Regime, 2) Innovation and Technological Adoption, 3) Education and Training, 4) Information and Communications Technologies Infrastructure. The study utilizes the data from 2012. Poland dropped down 3 position to the 38th place since 2000, which is a reflection of the declines in the normalized scores for two indicators. The second part of paper deals with describing steps undertaken by Poland within the Europe 2020 strategy, whose aim is to improve its position and lead to the development of a knowledge- based economy.
