Having the most significant tech workforce in the EU (over 250,000) and around 11,000 new ICT graduates annually, Poland has the power to harness global software development needs at the highest standard.

Poland’s versatile software engineers can work directly for global brands using some of the most advanced technologies.

Reasons to Choose Poland for Nearshore IT Outsourcing

1. Excellent Tech Skills

Polish developers are proficient in JavaScript, Java, Python, .NET, PHP, DevOps, and many other programming languages. They are renowned for winning international programming contests such as Google Code Jam, Microsoft Imagine Cup, or the Central European Programming Contest and building complex digital solutions, especially for the FinTech market.

2. Large Talent Pool

Poland is home to more than 500,000 ICT employees, according to the 2020 Eurostat research, which puts the country in 6th place in the European Union. With over 500 institutions for further education, Polish R&D has grown strong, financed by the private sector and global market players like Siemens, Motorola, Google, Intel, etc.

3. Multilingual Skills

According to the English Proficiency Index 2020, Poland ranks 16th out of 100 countries. 40% of all Poles know at least one foreign language, be it German or French. Poland is also the country with the highest number of students who learn German as part of their high school curriculum.

4. Competitive Rates

Cost-effectiveness combined with top tech skills and a western mindset makes Polish developers an excellent IT outsourcing choice. Western European companies that outsource their software development to Poland save up to 20% – 25% on their IT-related costs, while U.S. companies can spare up to 30% of their budget.

Benefits of IT Outsourcing in Poland – Offshore and Nearshore

Poland is one of the most favorable offshore and nearshore destinations in CEE. Here’s why:

• Location

Poland has an optimal location in Europe with flights to major cities that take between one or three hours. Take, for example, Berlin, Brussels, Zurich, or Paris: by plane, you’ll be able to meet with your outsourced teams within two hours. London is only two and a half hours away by plane.

• Time Zone

Poland’s GMT + 1-time zone makes it perfectly aligned businesswise to Germany or France, while with the UK, it’s only a one-hour difference. Simultaneously, convenience applies to U.S.-based collaborations: a time difference of six to nine hours allows the best interactions with international teams.

• Growing Economy

Poland ranks as the 8th-largest economy in the E.U. as measured by GDP and shines as one of the world’s most impressive growth stories. Poland is also taking essential steps in creating its deep-tech startup hub.
