Abstract
In its first six months, the Polish Hub - launched under the Horizon Europe-funded HERIFORGE (cultural HERitage and Immersive technologies for innovation FORGE) project - has laid critical groundwork for fostering innovation at the intersection of cultural heritage and Extended Reality (XR) technologies. Through stakeholder mapping, policy analysis, SWOT diagnostics, and qualitative interviews, the Hub exposes structural gaps and latent potential within Poland's fragmented digital heritage landscape. It offers a participatory, place-based model that connects research, practice, and policymaking to enable long-term, cross-sectoral collaboration. As the project transitions into its 30-month implementation phase, these initial insights provide both a strategic foundation and a timely opportunity to share methodologies that can inform and inspire similar ecosystem-building efforts across Europe.
