Warsaw’s technology sector reached a new milestone in 2025, attracting €2.8 billion in foreign direct investment — a 34% increase over the previous year. The data, released by the Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH), positions Warsaw as the fastest-growing tech hub in Central Europe.
Major investments include Google’s expansion of its Warsaw engineering center, adding 800 new positions, and Samsung’s decision to establish a European AI research lab in the Mokotów district. Several prominent venture capital firms have also opened Warsaw offices, including Sequoia Capital’s first Central European outpost.
Industry analysts point to several factors driving growth: competitive labor costs compared to Western Europe, a large pool of engineering graduates from Warsaw’s universities, and an increasingly favorable regulatory environment for startups.
“Warsaw has all the ingredients for a world-class tech ecosystem,” said Magda Dziewguć, head of Google’s operations in Poland. “The talent here is exceptional, and the city’s quality of life is a major draw for international professionals.”
