Last year, Digital Technology Poland became a partner of the Olga Tokarczuk Foundation and the Mountains of Literature Festival. Through this initiative, we had the privilege of meeting Nobel Prize-winning author Olga Tokarczuk while supporting one of Poland’s most significant literary and cultural events. Our involvement reflects the belief that innovation is driven not only by technology but also by culture, creativity, and the exchange of ideas.
This year, our collaboration continues with two exceptional festivals.
Rivers of Literature Festival | 20-23 August 2026
One of this year’s highlights is the inaugural Rivers of Literature Festival, taking place in Zielona Góra and the surrounding region where DTP is headquartered. Organized by the Olga Tokarczuk Foundation, the festival will bring together acclaimed writers, artists, and audiences for a rich programme of literary discussions, cultural events, and concerts.
Mountains of Literature Festival | 10-18 July 2026
Ahead of the August festival, the 12th edition of the Mountains of Literature Festival takes place across 30 locations in Lower Silesia. Recognized as one of Poland’s leading cultural festivals, it attracts tens of thousands of visitors each year. Under the theme “Territories,” this year’s edition will feature around 170 events with 240 guests, including author talks, concerts, theatre performances, film screenings, exhibitions, educational initiatives, and the Flying People’s University (Latający Uniwersytet Ludowy). Olga Tokarczuk will also take part in the festival, reading parts from her forthcoming novel, scheduled for publication this autumn.
These festivals offer much more than a cultural experience. They provide an opportunity to explore new perspectives, engage in inspiring conversations, and discover ideas that foster creativity and curiosity. For engineers and technology professionals in particular, exposure to diverse viewpoints and interdisciplinary dialogue can inspire fresh approaches to problem-solving and innovation, reinforcing our culture of continuous learning and personal development.
