Poland EU targets Poland for rapid Data centre growth

Data centres
The development of digital infrastructure is a new economic priority for Europe, as shown by the draft EU regulations, 'Cloud and AI Development Act' (CADA), and the 'Strategic Roadmap, published in early June. The EU wants to triple computing power by 2035 to meet the demand for cloud services and artificial intelligence (AI). Poland is expected to play a leading role in this process.
The introduction of the EU CADA project is a turning point for the Polish new technologies market, which has gained the tools to fight for the title of European digital leader. We are facing a major transformation: Poland is the largest energy construction site in Europe, and EU plans clearly demonstrate that this process must go hand in hand with digitalisation. Without its own gigawatts of power, there is no such thing as sovereign artificial intelligence or a strong, crisis-proof economy.

Poland The FORM builds on proven performance at Rondo Daszyńskiego

schedule 09 September 2026

With occupier demand increasingly focused on prime, well-located buildings, Warsaw’s office market is becoming more selective. Around Rondo Daszyńskiego, one of the city’s most established business locations, this trend is particularly visible. The FORM is among the office assets benefiting from this shift: since opening in early 2025, it has become fully leased, attracted a diversified mix of public- and private-sector occupiers, and demonstrated substantial day-to-day use. Its performance to date, combined with the continued evolution of the surrounding district, reinforces its position as a trophy office asset.

Poland to benefit from data centre realignment

While just a few years ago, investment locations were primarily determined by demand, today access to electricity is becoming a key factor.
