Jadwiga Katarzyna Emilewicz (born 27 August 1974) is a Polish politician and political scientist. In 2020, she was Deputy Prime Minister of Poland. In 2019, she became Minister of Development, upon her three-year service as an undersecretary of state in the Ministry of Development, and from 2018 to 2019, she was Minister of Entrepreneurship and Technology in the government of Mateusz Morawiecki.

Emilewicz was born in Kraków in 1974 to Antoni and Zdzisława Szyler.[1]

In 2002, together with Artur Wołek, she published "Reformers and Politicians: The Power Play for the 1998 Reform of Public Administration in Poland, as Seen by Its Main Players".[2]

On 27 November 2015, Emilewicz was appointed undersecretary of state in the Ministry of Development and held the function until 2018,[3] when she became the head of the Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Technology in the government of Mateusz Morawiecki.[4] Emilewicz retained the office during its reorganization into Ministry of Development upon the following election in 2019 and thus entered Morawiecki's second cabinet. Meantime, in 2017, she was one of the founders of the Agreement, a party whose one of the Vice Leaders she shortly became.[5]

In 2020, Emilewicz was sworn in as Deputy Prime Minister of Poland, simultaneously maintaining her so-far ministerial office, following Jarosław Gowin stepping down as Deputy Prime Minister and her candidature being proposed by Gowin's Agreement party instead.[6]
