According to a PMR report, the data center market in Poland is worth over PLN 2 billion. The number of local companies choosing to outsource IT services and implement cloud solutions is growing. This trend means that international technology giants and companies from the CEE region are looking to establish a presence in Poland. In response to their needs, 7R, as part of its expansion strategy, has decided to expand its offerings to include data processing centers.
With the digitalization of the global economy, the importance of IT and telecommunications infrastructure is growing. A key component is the data center, which is used to store data and provide computing power for cloud-based applications. According to experts, Warsaw is currently considered one of the most desirable locations for data centers in the CEE region. At the end of 2020, there were 115 data centers in Poland, with 38 located in the capital. The list of global cloud providers investing in Poland includes Google and Microsoft.

According to DataCentrePricing.com, Poland will be the site of a portion of the planned 850,000 square meters of total European server space to be built. However, the data center segment is a demanding sector of the market, combining the commercial real estate sector with critical infrastructure and the latest technological solutions.
Given the changes in data demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the growing importance of cloud services across nearly every industry and company, we expect the investment boom in the data center market to continue. Therefore, we are actively expanding our knowledge and experience in this area. We aim to be a partner for technology companies and data center operators establishing a presence in Poland. At 7R, we have a land bank as well as expertise in the construction of technologically advanced, large-scale, and eco-friendly commercial buildings. We are also expanding our team of experts responsible for working with technology giants and international data center operators so that we can support our clients and their investment plans in Poland.

The Power of Competence
Oliwer Goliński, an IT and telecommunications infrastructure specialist, has recently joined the 7R team. He has led projects for Europe’s largest data center operators. His role is to expand 7R’s portfolio with data processing facilities tailored to the specific needs and technological requirements of individual clients.
Data centers are critical infrastructure, essential to the functioning of today’s economy and ensuring the continuous delivery of digital services to society as a whole. To fulfill this role, data center design relies on the latest technological solutions and presents investors with a number of challenges—both in terms of site selection and facility construction. The most obvious requirement is meeting the enormous demand for electricity and ensuring its continuous supply, which can be a challenge for many investors.
