Poland's NIS2 registration deadline is October 3, 2026, and it already applies to foreign company branches here, regardless of what your home country's law says.

Some EU countries still don't have a NIS2 law on the books. Poland does, and the registration clock is now down to weeks. We break down where Poland stands versus the rest of the EU, who the amended law actually catches (the list is broader than most expect), and why registering isn't the same as being secure.

Poland's economy just moved up a league

Eurostat officially confirmed it: with a GDP of €922.9 billion, Poland is now the EU's 6th-largest economy. Surpassing nations like Sweden, Belgium, and Austria.

But numbers like this shouldn’t just be read as a headline. They should be read as a signal.

It means a tech ecosystem that has matured. It means a workforce with more senior engineers, more cloud architects, and fewer teams built entirely on junior headcount.

At Winged IT, we see this shift every day in the talent we place.

If you're weighing where to build your next global tech hub, these are the numbers worth paying attention to. It's not the sole reason to choose Poland. It's confirmation that the legendary IT talent you already knew about is now backed by a macroeconomic powerhouse.

👇 We broke down exactly what this shift means for tech leaders in the infographic below.

Are you looking to scale your IT operations in Europe? Let’s talk about how Poland fits into your strategy.

Is Warsaw set to become Europe's next space security hub? 🚀With the ESA - European Space Agency officially selecting Warsaw as the location of its new Security Centre, the answer is becoming increasingly clear.

Last year, ESA announced plans to establish a new facility dedicated to space security.🛡️Now, the Agency has confirmed that Warsaw will host the centre.
While the announcement has been widely celebrated, we wanted to go back to the question that started it all:

What makes Poland such an attractive destination for the space industry? 💫

In our latest news, we revisit ESA's original announcement from Josef Aschbacher, follow the project's journey to its final location, and explain the factors behind the decision, from Poland's expanding space industry and investment in innovation to its internationally recognised engineering and cybersecurity expertise.

Job postings in the Polish IT sector grew by 44% in 2025. Yet the average number of applications per single job offer dropped by 45%.

What does this paradox mean for global employers?

It means the Polish tech market has fundamentally transformed. The days of mass hiring and simple cost savings are over. Today, the sector is a highly mature ecosystem driven by specialized skills, productivity, and exact capability matching.

Our latest market analysis breaks down this "Skills-First Shift" and explains how international companies must adapt their operating models to succeed in Poland.

Inside, we cover:
📌 The rise of the modern "Renaissance" IT professional.
📌 The Junior Squeeze vs. Senior Dominance in the current hiring market.
📌 The shift toward knowledge-intensive, mid-office functions (now over 63% of operations).
📌 4 concrete steps for global employers to align with this new reality.

This comprehensive overview features expert perspectives from Magdalena Kędra (Ringier Axel Springer Polska), Damian Salamończyk (Square One Resources), and Mariusz Mulas (ABSL Poland), backed by the latest insights from Future Collars and Randstad.

Humanity is creating a new, highly intelligent “species” – without yet knowing how to control it.

If one sentence captured the true mood behind the scenes at the ABSL Summit 2026 in Wrocław, it was this one. In the corridors of the Centennial Hall, blind tech-hype officially took a backseat to operational maturity. The conversation shifted from what AI can do to strict accountability. Who actually signs off and takes the fall when a system fails?

For the Winged IT leadership team (Anna Stolarz & Wiktor Tarnawski), this was a milestone event. Our very first Summit as proud ABSL members. And we walked straight into a massive industry turning point. Poland’s ecosystem has crossed half a million professionals, but the era of competing simply on being a lower-cost destination is over.

We’ve just published our honest, post-summit briefing with the raw takeaways that every C-level executive needs to hear.

Inside, we unpack:
• The Dublin vs. Detroit Model: How Poland is leaving the transactional "factory" model behind to become a high-value, ownership-driven innovation hub.
• Beyond "Human in the Loop": Why it’s time to talk about "Human in Charge" and how to maintain personal sovereignty in an era of continuous disruption.
• The Illusion of Shared Responsibility: Why corporate AI deployment without clear, centralized ownership is just abdication with better branding.

If you want to understand what global tech leaders are actually discussing behind closed doors and how it will impact the tech talent market in the coming months, this is for you.

From joining ABSL… to being part of the Summit conversation.

We joined ABSL last year, started by participating in member meetings, and this year, we took part in the ABSL Summit in Wrocław. This journey alone says a lot about how dynamic and impactful this ecosystem really is.

After the event, our CEO shares his key reflections on why Poland is no longer just a delivery location. Quite the contrary, it is now a place where global companies build real ownership – across AI, cybersecurity, cloud, and data.

In the article, Wiktor Tarnawski covers:
✔ what makes ABSL truly unique
✔ how the Polish market reached this level of maturity
✔ why global HQs are shifting strategic capabilities to Poland

If you want to understand where high-value tech and business capabilities are being built today – this is a must-read.

Back from a few inspiring days in Madrid, our team is returning with fresh ideas, valuable insights, and an even stronger conviction that Poland and Spain have a lot to offer each other in the world of innovation. 🌍

Last week, our co-founders, Tomasz Szadkowski and Wiktor Tarnawski, PhD, represented Winged IT at South Summit as part of a delegation organized by Business inSilesia.

We were in Madrid alongside seven other innovative companies from the Silesian region: Brainstorm Group Sp. z o.o., Carbon Studio, EcoBioTech sp. z o.o., ENERGIYA, GGDAB, Louder Higher, and Senetic. 👩‍💻

It was an outstanding experience, filled with talks from global technology leaders, valuable business meetings, and meaningful networking opportunities. And the presence of the King of Spain further underscored the event's scale and importance! 🤴

One of our key takeaways from the event was the strong complementarity between the Polish and Spanish tech ecosystems. South Summit reinforced our belief that both countries bring unique strengths to the table and play increasingly important roles on Europe's IT map. 🌐

A big thank you to InSilesia for the excellent organization and to all participating companies for the great collaboration throughout the trip!
