IT investments in Poland

Poland is becoming more and more attractive to foreign investors over the years. According to analyses conducted by the Central Economic Information Centre, between 6,000 and 10,000 new companies with foreign capital are set up here each year.

The IT industry is also keen to invest in Poland, which is seen as an IT Hub in Central Europe. In recent years, global technology leaders such as Google and Microsoft have expanded their operations here. Many global corporations run service centres in Poland, using local IT resources.
