Industry Findings: Strong momentum comes from national manufacturing growth and targeted digitalization incentives supporting robotics, warehousing automation, and intelligent mobility pilots. Poland’s logistics hubs—particularly around Warsaw and Silesia—have introduced AI-enabled sorting, inspection, and autonomous vehicle testbeds. These operational ecosystems expose vendors to real industrial variability, enabling refinement of perception and motion-planning modules and strengthening the performance credibility of solutions deployed in fast-scaling industrial corridors.
Industry Progression: National defense procurement and domestic supplier scaling are fast-tracking autonomous ISR and tactical UAS deployments, creating clear local demand channels; WB Group’s contract announcements and deliveries (November 2024) show concrete government purchases that integrate unmanned platforms into national forces — this elevates local systems integrators, generates scale for Polish avionics and autonomy sub-suppliers, and shortens validation cycles for fielded autonomy solutions that must meet defence-grade integration and interoperability requirements.
Industry Players: Among the many players in this market, a few include Solaris Bus & Coach, WB Group, Robotyczne Zakłady, Comarch, Autonomous Systems (Gliwice), and Asseco Poland etc. Municipal transit pilots and industrial automation programs are making Poland a field for tested autonomy integrations: Polish integrators and manufacturers expanded urban shuttle and intralogistics pilots during 2023–2025, creating repeatable frameworks for safety validation and O&M contracts; this real-world experience drives procurement toward vendors offering turnkey hardware, certified control-software and local service teams to meet municipal and industrial timetables.
