Why Silicon Valley Choose Poland?
Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Uber all have major hubs in Poland. Why? Because it offers the perfect balance of high-quality engineering talent, EU regulatory stability, and cost efficiency compared to Western Europe.
At YTECS, we turn this potential into your reality. We act as your proxy, handling the bureaucracy so you can focus on scale.
The EU Gateway
Establishing a presence in Poland gives you passporting rights to the entire European Union single market (450 million consumers) without customs borders.
#1 Tech Talent Pool
Polish developers rank #3 globally on HackerRank. We help you build a remote R&D team or open a local development center at 40% lower cost than the US.
Cost Efficiency
Lower operational costs (rent, labor, utilities) combined with special Economic Zones (SEZ) offering tax incentives for foreign investors.

YTECS Regulatory Intelligence Compliance Protocol
- Taxation IP Box & CIT
- Poland offers a 5% tax rate (IP Box) for income derived from intellectual property/software. Standard Corporate Tax (CIT) is 9% for small entities.
- Data Privacy GDPR Shield
- We implement strict GDPR protocols for your Polish entity, ensuring data transfer between the US and EU is legally compliant.
