L'essor de l'intelligence artificielle (IA) transforme l'environnement des affaires dans de nombreux secteurs. De nombreux leaders du secteur sont investir dans le développement de l'IA to seize its potential and build a competitive advantage. Together with increasing investments and a growing number of projects comes a higher demand for specialised experts. The answer to shortages in the AI talent pool may lie in nearshore or offshore collaboration with external consultants and technology partners. That’s why today we take a look at how Poland fares on the AI development map and define why it is worth investing in an AI delivery centre there.

Investissements croissants dans l'adoption de l'IA

L'adoption de l'IA est de plus en plus considérée comme un incontournable et un point clé dans la construction de stratégies de croissance des entreprises. Il n'est donc pas surprenant que le rythme et l'ampleur des investissements dans ce domaine ne cessent d'augmenter. Comme rapporté par EY, 88 % des dirigeants et décideurs d'entreprise consacrent 5 % ou plus de leur budget total à l'intelligence artificielle et prévoient d'augmenter considérablement ce chiffre dans les années à venir. Ces projets correspondent également à les prévisions de Statista que le marché mondial de l'IA connaîtra une croissance de près de 60 milliards de dollars rien que l'année prochaine et atteindra une valeur de plus de 243 milliards de dollars.

All these figures indicate how much of a strategic priority artificial intelligence is and the potential it has to revolutionise various industries. They also show that companies are increasingly aware that early investment in creating and growing an AI team can be crucial to gaining business advantage.

With such an investment boom and the growing adoption of artificial intelligence solutions, the demand for experienced AI professionals is also increasing rapidly. The relatively small talent pool of highly specialised experts in this field in Western countries causes fierce competition and challenges in finding suitable candidates.

Thomson Reuters indique que l'écart d'emploi devrait atteindre environ 50 % de tous les postes d'IA nécessaires. Et selon unerapport récent de PwC, le nombre d'offres d'emploi aux États-Unis pour les travailleurs ayant de l'expérience en IA croît 3,5 fois plus vite que pour tous les autres postes. De plus, autres rapports indiquent que jusqu'à 56 % des spécialistes seniors de l'IA considèrent la pénurie de nouveaux talents compétents en IA comme le principal obstacle à l'adoption fluide des innovations en matière d'IA.

For many Western companies, an effective way to address the talent shortage in their markets is to partner with external software companies and consultants specialising in AI from Eastern Europe, e.g., Poland. This approach provides easy access to a large group of experienced professionals – their knowledge, expertise and in-depth understanding of the latest technologies, trends and best practices.

Importantly, such experience is paired not only with theoretical or academic knowledge but also with a pre-existing practical background in implementing AI solutions and a full understanding of what such a process involves and how best to go through it. The combination of hands-on experience, know-how, and a convenient location also ensures a balance of high quality with cultural compatibility and ease of communication.

It’s been very interesting [to work with Spyrosoft]. The last nine months have been enjoyable, and the people that I’ve been working with have been fantastic. The commitment and the language – I was massively impressed with how good people’s communication skills were. Some of the skills that you guys have are in short supply, not just in the UK but globally. – Richard Mellors, Principal Product Manager at MHR

Nearshore or offshore collaboration and outsourcing to countries such as Poland allows you to significantly increase the available pool of AI talent from various specialities. And therefore, it facilitates and speeds up the building of a comprehensive AI team, ensures knowledge transfer to the organisation, and supports the overall execution of the artificial intelligence strategy.

As demand for AI services grows exponentially, more and more companies are investing in developing AI hubs in fast-growing countries like Poland. The country is already well known for its extensive IT talent pool of educated and skilled professionals, and the situation is no different in terms of AI development.

Big companies such as AstraZeneca, Samsung, and Google have been investing in R&D and data centres in Poland for some time now. Additionally, Polish engineers are known internationally as co-founders, top researchers, and high-level scientists at places like OpenAI, Snowflake, and Klarna. It’s no wonder that representatives of major technology companies speak very highly of Poland and its specialists.

Poland’s great potential in the AI development can also be proven by the example of local start-up – CampusAI, which recently received funding worth PLN 40 million. The company creates an educational platform that trains new leaders in the ethical and professional use of AI. Its innovative approach focuses on a blended learning method that adapts to users’ individual needs regardless of their level of knowledge and experience. With the recently gathered funding, the company aims to foster talents and expand the professional AI community even more.

De plus, le gouvernement polonais lui-même voit une grande valeur dans le développement des innovations et des ressources en matière d'IA, et entend allouer environ 1 milliard de PLN (230 millions d'euros) pour créer un fonds d'IA. Dans le cadre de cet investissement, il consacrera également certains fonds au développement d'infrastructures et à la création d'une usine d'IA opérant au sein des centres d'innovation des universités locales.

With the growing popularity of this technology, new investments and high educational standards in academic centres, the number of experts involved in analysing, developing and implementing artificial intelligence is steadily growing throughout the country.

Thanks to the vast pool of engineers and developers, Poland is an attractive option that combines high quality with an affordable price. The country’s location and currency, combined with great professionals and experience in outsourcing, make it an exceptionally welcoming destination for companies that want to maximise their AI capabilities without straining the budget.

With its strategic location in the heart of a continent, Poland offers excellent proximity to major markets in Western and Eastern Europe. This geographic advantage allows for easy travel and mutual compatibility or alignment across time zones, even with companies from the US. All of that is crucial for real-time collaboration, smooth communication and quick decision-making in the AI project.

FAQ : centre de livraison IA

The main obstacle is the global shortage of AI talent. With demand far outpacing supply, especially in Western markets, companies struggle to find qualified data scientists, ML engineers, and AI specialists. Research shows that the AI employment gap could reach 50% and that over half of senior AI experts view this shortage as a major barrier to innovation.

Collaborating with external technology partners in regions such as Eastern Europe (particularly Poland) gives companies immediate access to a wide pool of AI professionals. This approach helps organisations scale their AI capabilities faster, ensures knowledge transfer, and provides flexibility without the high recruitment costs or long hiring cycles of in-house expansion.

Polish specialists are known for strong communication skills, technical precision, and cultural alignment with Western partners. English proficiency is high, and collaboration processes mirror those of UK, US, and EU companies. This ensures seamless teamwork, minimal language barriers, and consistent delivery quality.

Poland offers significant cost savings compared to North America and Western Europe — not only in salaries but also in operational and infrastructure expenses. Companies can achieve a favourable cost-to-quality ratio, enabling them to invest more strategically in AI innovation while maintaining top technical standards.
