One of the aspects is the geographical (and cultural) proximity to markets in other European countries in Western Europe. For this reason Poland is very attractive country to investment associated with the information technology outsourcing as well as various other types of outsourcing services. It connects the countries of Eastern Europe such as Ukraine, Belarus, Russia and Western Europe. For this reason, outsourcing located in our country can provide a kind of bridge between Eastern and Western Europe. Another big advantage for Poland is a large number of skilled workers and a relatively low (for foreign investors), costs of Polish workers. Although many prominent Polish specialists left Poland and went to other western countries where the earnings are much higher, many of them still work in Poland and they are very attractive employees to foreign investors – both in terms of skills and earnings.
