"We see growing potential in increasing defence and security spending and believe that this is a great opportunity for us. We are in a very good position as a reliable and trustworthy partner for both the public sector and private entities," CEO Climoc said.

She added that Orange Polska has the expertise to exploit the potential associated with the defence sector.

"I would like to point out that within the telecommunications market, we combine unique skills specific to the sector with those closely related to ICT solutions," the CEO said.

"For example, we have a strategic partnership with the Ministry of National Defence, to which we provide critical infrastructure components and ICT services that support national security," she explained.

In addition, Climoc announced that Orange Polska is the largest provider of mobile telephony services to the military.

"Another example is the specialised IT solutions we have introduced for military hospitals," she pointed out.
