EY Global Delivery Services (GDS) has launched a centre in Katowice, marking the third such location in Poland. This represents another step in the development of EY GDS structures and demonstrates that Katowice is becoming one of the key locations on the map of the organisation’s operations in Europe.
The decision to launch a new centre in Katowice reflects EY GDS’s confidence in the region’s economic potential and its dynamic transformation towards modern business services. The organisation emphasises that Silesia remains an important hub for the modern business services (BSS) sector in Poland.
“Poland is a strategic market for EY GDS in Europe, and Katowice represents a natural step in our further development. The region offers strong technological potential, a solid academic base and highly qualified specialists whose competencies align well with our global needs. This also reflects our long-term confidence in the Polish market,” says Ajay Anand, Global Vice Chair, EY Global Delivery Services.
According to the ABSL report Business Services Sector in Katowice 2025, nearly 160 business services centres are already operating in Katowice and the metropolitan area, employing more than 36,000 specialists in total. Katowice ranks among the fastest-growing BSS hubs in Poland, with the IT sector accounting for nearly 42 percent of the local market. The report on Katowice also attracts the IT industry, indicating that technology companies currently generate the highest demand for modern office space in the city.
EY GDS has been operating in Poland since 2011 and currently employs around 3,000 people in Wrocław and Warsaw. Over more than a decade, the organisation has significantly expanded its scope of activities, developing IT, analytics, finance and creative teams. The opening of the new centre in Katowice marks another milestone in the 15-year history of EY GDS in Poland and confirms that the country remains one of EY’s key operational hubs in Europe.
The Katowice EY GDS centre already employs more than 150 people, including project managers, business analysts, software architects, infrastructure engineers and IT process specialists. The organisation plans to continue expanding its Katowice team in the coming years. Knowledge of foreign languages, particularly English, German, French or Italian, as well as independence and engagement, is highly valued.
“We believe that diverse and talented professionals from Upper Silesia will significantly strengthen our presence in the region. We offer them the opportunity to collaborate with EY teams from all continents as part of the global EY GDS network of more than 80,000 professionals. We invest in future skills, both technical, such as AI, data analytics and project management, and soft skills. At the same time, we care about employee well-being by offering programmes that support health and work-life balance. We believe that well-prepared and motivated people are the key to organisational success. Together, we drive innovation and create solutions that support our clients in digital transformation and growth worldwide,” adds Ajay Anand, Global Vice Chair, EY Global Delivery Services.
“The opening of the EY GDS centre in Katowice is a clear signal that the city is currently perceived as a stable and forward-looking destination for investment in the development of global business services. Katowice is following a path of dynamic economic transformation, and the growing ecosystem of modern technologies, a rich and diverse academic base, and local talent with international competencies create unique conditions for such investments. We are pleased that new teams working in consulting, finance, risk management and internal transformation will be established here. I believe that the presence of EY GDS will not only strengthen the local labour market in Katowice but will also act as a catalyst for the further development of innovative competencies in our city, emphasises Mariusz Jankowski, Head of the Investor Relations Department at the City of Katowice.
