Warsaw-based machine learning company selected for EU’s Global Gateway business advisory group

The Warsaw-based machine learning company MIM Solutions will represent Poland in EU’s Global Gateway business advisory group.

Global Gateway is a strategy, launched by the European Commission and the EU High Representative, with the aim of boosting smart and secure links in digital, energy and transport sectors and strengthening health, education and research systems.

The mission of the programme is to narrow the global investment gap worldwide, in the light of the recent Covid-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The initiative aims to mobilise up to €300bn in investments through a Team Europe approach, bringing together the EU, its member states and their financial and development institutions.

MIM Solutions, a spin-off of the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics at the University of Warsaw, uses AI and machine learning to advance outcomes in medicine and reproductive health.

The company has joined the group of advisors to the European Commission alongside giants such as Siemens, Orange, Nokia, and Veolia.

The list of new members of the advisory group was announced on September 18 during the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Summit in New York by the EU Commissioner for International Partnerships, Jutta Urpilainen. It included 60 members and 10 observers, representing European companies and business associations.

The Warsaw-based company, managed by Urszula Sankowska and Piotr Wygocki, applied and was selected, primarily due to its expertise in the field of AI.

“We are proud that we will be able to share our knowledge and support the European Commission in implementing the Global Gateway strategy,” shared Wygocki, co-founder and co-CEO of MIM Solutions.

“Our specialisation is AI, which plays a crucial role in democratising access to highly specialised services worldwide.”

Sankowska, co-CEO of MIM Solutions, said: “Our company implements medical solutions based on AI in global markets. Therefore, we have a good understanding of the needs of our partners outside the EU and the necessity to collaborate with them.

“This is an opportunity for us to support the global healthcare initiatives of the Commission and address challenging issues such as infertility treatment.”

The advisory group will play a key role during the Global Gateway Forum, which will take place in Brussels under the leadership of Ursula von der Leyen on October 25-26.

Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission said: “Global Gateway is the EU’s contribution to narrowing the global investment gap worldwide. It offers sustainable investments in the prosperity and security of our partners as well as for Europe.

“To further scale up the Global Gateway flagship projects, we need both public and private resources.

“The Global Gateway business advisory group will help us to work closer together and deliver faster on the green and digital transitions, boosting the economy of our partners and the EU.”
