The Platon consortium was established in 2008 in order to implement a project PLATON Science Services Platform, which was aimed at developing national technical infrastructure for science (the PIONIER network) with applications and services supporting scientific research and development works performed by Polish research teams.

The PL-Grid Consortium (Polish National Grid Initiative) was established in January 2007 to build a grid computing infrastructure for the scientific community. The developed infrastructure supports scientific research by integrating experimental data and results of advanced computer simulations conducted by teams working in different locations.

The European Grid Initiative (EGI) is an initiative of European computing centers committed to developing grid infrastructure in Europe.

The Knowledge and Innovation Community for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) cluster was established under an agreement concluded on June 5, 2007, in order to integrate the activities of universities, entrepreneurs and public institutions related to the ICT industry.
