Poland Artificial Intelligence Market Growth and Performance

Poland Artificial Intelligence (AI) market is entering a pivotal phase of growth, investment, and policy-driven transformation. As per David Gomes, Manager – IT, AI is now the top strategic priority for 68% of Polish CEOs, with Generative AI (GenAI) commanding a lion’s share of attention for its potential to revolutionize personalized services, customer engagement, and product innovation. While Polish executives anticipate that measurable returns on AI investments may take at least five years, they are laying the groundwork today through bold public and private initiatives.

One of the most dynamic developments is the Polish government’s commitment to invest PLN 1 billion (approximately USD 250 million) into AI development, signaling a national strategy that fuses economic ambition with digital sovereignty. The launch of a dedicated AI Fund, an AI Factory, and the upcoming Polish Large Language Model (PLLuM) is set to position Poland as a serious AI contender in Europe. Digital Affairs Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz have both emphasized the dual purpose of AI in strengthening national security and economic prosperity. These moves are strategic responses to both domestic imperatives and global headwinds, including recent U.S. restrictions that limit Poland to 50,000 imported high-performance GPUs—critical for building advanced AI infrastructure.

Despite geopolitical and technological constraints, optimism abounds in Poland’s executive corridors. Industry experts reveal that while 90% of Polish CEOs express concern over AI regulatory uncertainty and 85% cite implementation skill gaps, these hurdles are not dampening long-term ambition. In fact, Poland is actively crafting its response through the “Policy for AI Development in Poland (2020),” which integrates principles of trustworthy AI, workforce development, and industry collaboration. Government-backed initiatives are now focusing on building ethical frameworks, expanding AI talent pipelines, and fostering public-private partnerships to scale innovation responsibly.

Warsaw, in particular, has emerged as the nerve center of Poland’s AI revolution. According to the CBRE Global Tech Talent GuideBook 2025, Warsaw boasts an IT workforce of over 100,000 professionals and an exceptionally low tech unemployment rate of 1.2%—one of the lowest in Europe. This availability of skilled labor, combined with competitive average salaries of $73,121 per year and a cost of living advantage compared to other European tech hubs like Zurich or Stockholm, makes Warsaw an attractive destination for foreign investment and AI startups. The influx of tech talent from Ukraine and Belarus further enriches Poland’s developer ecosystem, reinforcing its strategic value as a regional AI powerhouse.

Startups such as Infermedica (AI for health diagnostics), deepsense.ai (machine learning and predictive analytics), and SentiOne (AI-powered customer service automation) are already showcasing Poland’s innovation potential. These companies are leveraging GenAI to offer scalable, cloud-native solutions to global clients, underlining Poland’s capacity for commercial AI success stories. With Warsaw now ranked among the top 15 global cities for AI talent, Poland is fast becoming a vital node in Europe’s AI value chain.

However, Poland’s AI trajectory is not without its friction points. The lack of comprehensive EU-wide AI regulations continues to be a major concern for 90% of Polish executives, while 56% are uneasy about ethical implications such as algorithmic bias, data sovereignty, and the misuse of synthetic content. Compounding this are cybersecurity threats, with 95% of leaders acknowledging that while GenAI can enhance threat detection, it also lowers the barrier for cybercriminals to launch sophisticated attacks.

At the EU level, the regulatory landscape is in flux. From the European Commission’s Digital Services Act targeting tech giants like TikTok to efforts by the European Patent Office to secure AI innovation leadership, policy signals are mixed but intensifying. The EU is also proposing an agency to counter Russian bot interference in democratic processes, illustrating the growing intersection of AI with governance and national resilience.

In this evolving ecosystem, Poland’s policy-makers must negotiate strategic exemptions with the U.S. to secure higher GPU quotas and adapt export control frameworks. Aligning on clean energy, cybersecurity, and democratic tech governance could unlock access to additional chips—vital for scaling domestic AI capabilities. In parallel, Poland must deepen its venture capital channels and nurture a startup environment conducive to AI experimentation, commercialization, and responsible use.

The road ahead for Poland Artificial Intelligence market involves a nuanced balance of ambition, regulation, and execution. With a €1 billion AI fund, a flourishing talent base, and an increasingly global outlook, Poland is poised to become a key AI hub not just in Central and Eastern Europe but on the global stage—if it can navigate the regulatory, ethical, and infrastructure challenges strategically.
