According to the information from 2025 the data center sector in Poland algenerates:

➡️ PLN 10.6 billion in gross value added

➡️ sustaining nearly 41,000 jobs across the economy

➡️ PLN 4.3 billion in fiscal revenues

➡️ a significant impact on the development of IT services, real estate, construction, professional services, and supply chains.

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

At the same time, the sector’s continued development requires addressing key challenges: energy availability, predictable regulations, efficient investment processes, spatial planning, and environmental requirements. These are the areas that will determine whether Poland fully leverages its potential as a regional hub for data center investments and AI infrastructure.
