Recognition that reflects sustained growth

Future Processing has been recognised in the Forbes Diamonds 2026 ranking, a list of companies that have increased their value most dynamically in recent years.
The Forbes Diamonds ranking, prepared by Forbes Polska with Dun & Bradstreet Poland as the content partner, identifies companies with strong financial performance, positive credibility and risk ratings, high liquidity, and consistent value growth. According to Forbes Polska, the 2026 edition is the 18th edition of the ranking and includes companies that grew their value fastest over the analysed period.
For Future Processing, this is not the first appearance in the ranking. The company has been recognised before, including in 2017 and 2023. For a technology consultancy that started in Gliwice more than 26 years ago, recurring recognition in Forbes Diamonds reflects more than a single strong year. It points to long-term resilience, consistent development and the strength of the people, clients and partners behind the business.
The award was collected by Adam Gaca, Managing Director UK&I and Vice President of Innovation at Future Processing, who also took part in the panel discussion “Playing for the Future: Keeping the Economic Momentum and Breeding European Business Leaders.” The panel included Elżbieta Kacprzykowska from KUKE, Andrzej Plachta from SOFTIQ and Jarosław Makowski, Deputy Mayor of Katowice. The discussion was moderated by Maciej Gajek from Forbes Polska.
The conversation also touched on AI adoption and the changing capabilities organisations need in order to build sustainable competitiveness. The picture discussed by Adam Gaca was more nuanced than many market headlines suggest: investment in AI is accelerating, but real adoption and business value are progressing more slowly. That gap is becoming a business risk in itself.
Investment in AI is running ahead of real adoption. Business value from AI is growing, but more slowly than the hype implies, and that gap is itself a risk.
In most cases, AI is not replacing people. It is changing what organisations need from them: deep industry knowledge, the ability to understand where AI can genuinely help, and the judgement to act on what it produces. That profile of person is still scarce, and the shortage is particularly relevant for Europe, where the pressure to build competitive, AI-capable organisations is rising fast.
