The American corporation Microsoft will allocate $700 million to expand its data center in Poland.
“About 3 billion zlotys, or more precisely $700 million, or 2 billion 800 million in our currency - this is the investment that Microsoft's management confirmed today“, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk told journalists after a meeting with Microsoft President Brad Smith in Warsaw.
The Microsoft head, in turn, explained that this is the second phase of the Polish Digital Valley project and work on creating the infrastructure will continue until 2026. He also stressed that the computing power within the project will be used to strengthen cybersecurity in interaction with the Polish army.
In 2020, Microsoft invested $1 billion in the Polish Digital Valley project. In 2023, the corporation opened the first cloud data center in the Central and Eastern Europe region near Warsaw.
