Top 5 Upcoming Data Centers in Poland

The upcoming data centers in Poland listed in the table below are ranked by IT load: Bielsko-Biala Data Center, Switch WAW1 Data Center, Data4 Jawczyce Data Center, Atman Waw-3 Data Center, and Green AI Data Center.

Bielsko-Biała Data Center

DL Invest Group and Boosteroid are collaborating to develop a hyperscale data center platform focused on ultra-low-latency digital services across Europe.

The partnership creates a distributed network of up to 12 data centers across Europe. These facilities support cloud services, GPU-intensive AI workloads, and real-time gaming applications that require low latency.

The companies are developing the first project in Bielsko-Biała, Poland, where they plan to build the region's largest data center campuses. The project highlights Poland’s importance for AI-ready and edge computing infrastructure in Central and Eastern Europe.

The development focuses on a low-latency architecture, where proximity between users and computing infrastructure improves cloud gaming performance and real-time digital experiences.

Key Project Details

The Bielsko-Biała Data Center is planned to reach up to 200 MW of total capacity, with the initial phase to provide between 50 MW and 82 MW. The partners are planning a European network of up to 12 facilities. The campus will support cloud gaming and real-time streaming workloads. The project has access to more than 80 MW of power infrastructure and operates on a distributed, low-latency edge computing model.

Strategic Infrastructure Features

Why the Bielsko-Biała Location Was Selected

The Bielsko-Biała site is an industrial infrastructure with energy availability and logistics connectivity. It is a former manufacturing complex that provides access to more than 80 MW of power infrastructure, allowing faster deployment timeframes and support for GPU-intensive computing workloads.

The location allows cloud gaming services for users across Central and Eastern Europe, reducing latency and improving gameplay responsiveness, a feature important for cloud gaming platforms where transmission delays can negatively affect user experience.

Importance of Low-Latency Infrastructure

Low latency is a key factor in cloud gaming and real-time AI applications. In this environment, remote servers transmit every user action, process it, and return the result to the player with minimal delay. To achieve this goal, companies deploy distributed infrastructure, including edge data centers, closer to user populations.

Key Industry Benefits
