About us
SET Foundation
The dynamically changing geopolitical and economic situation directly affect our lives, security and development. The SET - SECURITY - Energy - Technology Foundation - was created from the need to act to ensure a sense of security as the basic needs of man. In the face of international tensions and the technological revolution, our goal is to support Poland's national security both in the economic and military dimension. A sense of security is one of the basic needs of man and one of the key conditions for social peace, strengthening prosperity, economic development and triggering creativity. This is not only military security, related to the development of the potential of the armed forces, but also a whole range of categories on which the success of people, enterprises and states depends today. These are :
Energy security
providing access to stable, efficient and economically profitable energy sources,
raw material safety
whose essence is to ensure undisturbed supply of raw materials for economic and technological development,
cyber security
related to the protection of ICT systems, data and infrastructure against various types of cyber attacks,
information security
that is, protection of the information space against hostile manipulation,
ecological safety
associated with environmental protection against ecological disasters, pollution and degradation of ecosystems,
food, health and cultural safety
"Security" today is the basic area of interest in administration, science
and business.
Therefore, the mission of the SET "Security-Energy-Technology" Foundation, which has expert facilities, is to initiate activities related to broadly understood safety, as well as to provide in this field of professional support in all those whose activity leads to strengthening safety in the national and international dimensions. We are in favor of deepening cooperation within the Three Seas and Transatlantic Alliance to ensure security in Europe. We promote an approach in which nature is protected not for ideology, but for man's good.
