A Focus on emagine Poland

Poland has firmly established itself as one of Europe’s leading hubs for IT and consulting expertise, and we have been proud to have a hub of experts there since 2014.

Since launching, emagine Poland has grown from serving just 3 clients to partnering with over 100 clients across more than 10 countries.

Today, with a network of 1,600 consultants and an internal team of 220, Poland has become a vital part of emagine’s international success.

Poland is a mature market for IT freelancers, where project-based and B2B cooperation has become the main way of working. This flexible model enables companies to access top expertise efficiently, and the emagine Poland team specialises in finding the right talent for every project.

 

Poland’s IT and consulting landscape

Poland is widely recognised as a hub for technical excellence with a strong talent pool. With approximately 750,000 IT specialists and around 40,000 graduates entering the market each year from computer science and related fields, the talent pipeline is one of the strongest in the industry, not only the scale of the workforce but also its quality.

The country’s education system, strong English proficiency, and international mindset make it a natural partner for global businesses looking to scale.

As Paulina Kobus, Business Development Principal at emagine Poland, explains: “Polish IT grew initially from the banking sector, and today it serves as a hub across multiple industries from finance, insurance and pharmaceuticals to manufacturing and technology.”

 

Opportunities and growth in the market

Investment into new technologies is increasing in Poland. In 2025 alone, AI investment reached 250 million dollars, with the Polish AI market already valued at around one billion dollars. Fintech is another major driver, with more than 400 active companies. Global players such as Microsoft, Google and Amazon have also made significant commitments, including Microsoft’s recent PLN 2.8 billion ($765 million) investment in Polish AI and data centres.

This momentum creates opportunities for all businesses in this market, supporting growth, innovation and raising the profile of Poland’s talent hub.

emagine's role in Poland has increasingly shifted from being a cost-competitive delivery centre to becoming a strategic hub for advanced IT and consulting services built on extensive expertise.

 

emagine Poland’s strengths

What sets emagine Poland apart is the scale and flexibility of our business model. With an extensive consultant network of more than 54,000 specialists built on years of relationship-building and repeat project placements, the team is able to support a wide range of client needs. A blended consulting model covers managed services, project delivery and resource augmentation, ensuring that solutions are always tailored to client requirements.

Another key strength is emagine’s AI-driven sourcing platform recently launched in Poland. This technology is already enhancing sourcing efficiency and speed, giving emagine Poland a clear differentiator in the market. Combined with the ability to provide more flexible and affordable solutions compared to traditional consulting firms, emagine Poland is well positioned as a strategic partner.

Adam Wilson, Recruitment Director, explains: “We act as both a strategic advisor and a flexible talent partner. Our ability to seamlessly scale managed teams and services gives us an edge over competitors in Poland.”

 

Key sectors

While banking and financial services remain dominant sectors, emagine Poland’s reach spans multiple industries.

Banking and fintech continue to be the traditional backbone of Polish IT. Pharmaceuticals and life sciences are also strong, with global leaders expanding operations in Poland. In manufacturing, major firms have invested heavily in large-scale facilities supported by IT infrastructure. The technology sector is equally vibrant, with major digital platforms and global players such as Microsoft, Google and Amazon continuing to grow their presence in the country.

 

Team culture

Aligned with the firmwide ethos, at emagine Poland we also embrace the Nordic working style and enjoy the openness and flexibility the firm has shared across all teams. The team has a thriving learning environment where consultants and staff are encouraged to grow, innovate and work with autonomy.

Paulina Kobus says: “We are a supportive team with high energy and a strong sense of ownership. emagineers are trusted from the very beginning to do their job and that freedom translates directly into client satisfaction.”

“The office itself reflects a dynamic atmosphere, in keeping with the Nordic leadership style that runs throughout the emagine Group. The culture emphasises transparency and trust, which are values that resonate across every client partnership.”

 

Looking ahead

Poland’s IT and consulting sector is set to grow rapidly, driven by continued investment in AI, data and digital transformation.

Reflecting on the road ahead, Paulina concludes: “We have a real opportunity to develop AI and provide the most qualified consultants in the industry. Over the next few years, we will be working on closing the small gap for exceptional talent at the very top. Much like all new and evolving practices, we enjoy the development process.

“Fintech and cybersecurity are expected to expand quickly, supported by the steady pipeline of highly skilled IT graduates entering the workforce each year. At the same time, demand is increasing for flexible and scalable consulting models that balance strategic advice with delivery capacity, so we know where the opportunities are going to be.”

With emagine Poland’s strong consultant network, innovative sourcing tools and client-first culture, the team will continue to act as a strategic partner for organisations seeking both scale and agility in a growing market.
