Poland, located in Central Europe, is characterised by diverse geographical features including coastal areas, mountains, and central plains, which can influence the implementation of network and telecommunications infrastructure. The country has a population of approximately 37 million, primarily distributed in urban areas, with the largest concentrations in cities including Warsaw, Krakow and Lodz.

The country has shown innovation in renewable energy, particularly in wind power, with the north and north-west regions being most favourable due to their proximity to the Baltic Sea. The southern mountainous regions occasionally pose potential challenges for technology infrastructure installation and maintenance. The technology sector in Poland is growing rapidly, with numerous tech start-ups, innovation hubs, and an increasing focus on digitalisation across industry sectors.
