According to the latest data, in 2025 the data center sector in Poland generated:

➡️ PLN 10.6 billion in gross value added

➡️ nearly 41,000 jobs supported across the economy

➡️ PLN 4.3 billion in fiscal revenues

➡️ a significant contribution to the development of IT services, real estate, construction, professional services and supply chains

Poland is strengthening its position in the CEE region and already accounts for approximately one-third of data center capacity in Central and Eastern Europe. The country benefits from its strategic location, large domestic market, strong talent base, and the growing importance of digital sovereignty and infrastructure resilience.

At the same time, further growth of the sector requires addressing several key challenges: power availability, regulatory predictability, efficient investment processes, spatial planning and environmental requirements. These factors will determine whether Poland can fully leverage its potential as a regional hub for data center and AI infrastructure investments.
