Supporting digital transformation for Polish entrepreneurs

Google Cloud has taken another step in the development of cloud services in Central and Eastern Europe. Today, April 14, 2021, it officially opened the Polish region of Google Cloud, a local computing infrastructure network that Polish companies will be able to use. This is the implementation of the strategy announced in 2019. As a result, Warsaw was to become the next point in Europe and the first in Central and Eastern Europe in which a region supporting cloud services from Google will be created. As a reminder, at the beginning of 2021, Google Cloud Polska started its operations, and now the cloud region in Poland was officially opened.

“After 18 months of hard work, we are officially opening the Google region in Warsaw tomorrow. This is the first region in Central and Eastern Europe and will be a hub for our investments throughout the region, helping them to recover from the pandemic. In the Google region in Warsaw, we offer a complete set of our cloud services, and together with our partners we will help them not only in digital transformation, but also – together with our local partners – in launching their products and services on markets around the world “– commented Thomas Kurian, President of the Management Board of Google Cloud, the day before the planned opening of Google Cloud Polska.
