Cloud services firm Polcom is building its second 40MW data center facility in Skawina, Poland.
Cloud services operator Polcom will develop a 40MW data center in Skawina, southern Poland. The facility will support both traditional business applications and Polcom's new sovereign cloud platform for AI services, with the company investing up to PLN 150 million ($39.4 million). The data center will feature six server rooms with water, air, and mixed cooling systems and is expected to open in 2030.
"AI is moving from the experimental stage to real-world business applications," said Polcom CEO Marcin Gwóźdź. "The number of megawatts alone no longer defines the infrastructure's capabilities. What matters more is what environments can be run on it, how efficiently they can be powered and cooled, and where the data is located and who processes it."
The Skawina facility builds on Polcom's existing footprint in the region. The company developed a 15MW data center in Skawina in 2010 and an 8MW facility in Alwernia, in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, in 2015. In 2025, Polcom announced two new data center projects near Krakow with combined IT compute capacity of 44MW alongside the launch of Polcom AI Cloud, its sovereign cloud platform for AI services. Since 2024, the firm has invested PLN 42 million ($11 million) in expanding its energy and IT infrastructure.
Founded in 1991, Polcom is among Poland's leading cloud service providers. The new Skawina facility arrives amid growing data center development in the country's south. In May, real estate developer LVL Energy announced a 50MW data center project in Dąbrowa Górnicza, in Poland's Silesian Voivodeship. That announcement followed Gliwice's municipal announcement in April of plans to build its own Tier III facility.
