Industry Findings: Poland’s trajectory is being shaped by its emergence as a strategic compute hub for Central and Eastern Europe, driven by demand for in-region AI and secure workload hosting (Aug-2023). Tighter resilience requirements from financial and public-sector buyers have steered adoption toward providers offering sovereign-aligned architecture. The country’s digital-infrastructure agenda and hyperscale region presence have strengthened enterprise commitment to localized, redundancy-oriented workload design.
Industry Progression: A major progression catalyst remains Google Cloud’s Warsaw region, which reached broader service parity by Nov-2023. The region continues adding capabilities supporting analytics, AI, and managed container services, which materially reduce latency for Polish enterprises and nearby CEE markets. Expanded service availability accelerates hybrid-migration timelines and intensifies competitive pressure across domestic hosting providers.
Industry Player Insights: In Poland, influential providers include Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, OVHcloud, and Atman. OVHcloud’s Nov-2023 enhancements to its Warsaw DC improved energy efficiency and added compute density, enabling domestic enterprises to shift more regulated workloads into local hybrid-cloud environments.
