Microsoft has announced a significant investment of PLN 2.8 billion ($704 million) to expand its data center infrastructure in Poland by June 2026. This expansion aims to enhance the company's hyperscale cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities in the region. In a press release by the Republic of Poland, it was highlighted that this investment will also bolster Poland's cybersecurity infrastructure in collaboration with the Polish National Defense.

The expansion will support the growth of existing data center campuses, bringing a broader range of Azure services to meet the increasing demand from customers in the region. Although specific details of the expansion were not disclosed, the initiative is part of Microsoft's broader strategy to strengthen its global data center footprint.

This investment follows the launch of Microsoft's Azure cloud region around Warsaw in April 2023, which was part of an initial $1 billion investment announced in 2020. The company is also transitioning its Polish data centers' backup generators to renewable biofuels, aligning with its sustainability goals.
