Polish cybersecurity to gain from Microsoft funding
Microsoft expands its partnership with Poland through a new cybersecurity investment.
Microsoft has announced plans to invest an additional $700 million in Poland, aiming to strengthen the country’s cybersecurity capabilities.
The investment will be carried out in collaboration with Poland’s armed forces, marking a significant boost in security infrastructure.
The funding forms part of the second phase of Microsoft’s earlier commitment to the region, following a $1 billion data centre project announced in 2020.
That project saw the opening of a data centre in 2023, which provides cloud services to businesses and government institutions.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk joined Microsoft President Brad Smith at a press conference to discuss the plans. The investment highlights the growing importance of cybersecurity in the partnership between Microsoft and Poland.
