This global dynamic is contributing to a transformation in the business environment, with services playing an increasingly influential role in driving these changes.
With growing competition between companies in the global market, entrepreneurs are looking for new solutions that increase their competitive advantages, including in the field of management. That is why companies that want to minimize their costs are willing to transfer support functions to their foreign subsidiaries or other companies that will perform such functions more efficiently and effectively. Very often, production involving a large volume of human labour or services related to business processes, are transferred to another country. This management strategy is based on the concept of offshoring.
Among European countries, Poland is a leader in offshoring, accounting for almost 25% of the global services market in Central and Eastern Europe, and the country offers many opportunities to improve the efficiency of your business. Therefore, this industry is constantly developing, which has led to Poland’s taking its place among the world leaders of the offshore group, which also includes the Philippines, India, China and Brazil.

What are the Key Advantages of Developing your Business in Poland?
Despite the growing importance of offshoring for business, entrepreneurs face challenges when deciding on the optimal location to relocate their businesses. Location is a very important factor that affects the development prospects of your company and the volume of foreign investment.
Poland is one of the most attractive locations for offshoring in Europe, as it has obvious investment attractiveness for investors and provides many assets beneficial for business development.
The Polish labour market offers extremely attractive conditions for engaging human resources: with relatively low labour costs, the absolute number of employees are very well-educated and highly qualified, and are constantly learning new skills.
Moreover, the advantageous geographical location in the heart of Europe, access to major European markets and cultural proximity with European countries, as well as political and economic stability, make Poland increasingly attractive as a location for offshore services. This is confirmed by the constantly growing number of companies with foreign capital in Poland.
Doing business in Poland means many opportunities to optimize costs and maximize profits. Polish cities are well-connected to all foreign countries thanks to airports, which minimizes travel time within one time zone and all associated costs. Easy access to a skilled and educated workforce at low labour and operating costs is achieved due to the high level of education among the population. Moreover, affordable rental of office and industrial premises is also an important advantage for offshoring in Poland.
