Academic Software expands to Poland – A strategic milestone in European expansion

Academic Software, a leading European provider of digital education solutions and part of the Signpost, has officially opened its office in Warsaw. This decision forms part of the company’s ambitious expansion strategy across Central and Eastern Europe and responds to the rapid growth of the EdTech sector in Poland. 

"Poland is not only a large and growing market – with over 1.2 million students and nearly 400 higher education institutions, it is also a country with strong innovation potential, ambitious educational institutions, and outstanding professionals. We are proud to be part of this transformation,"  emphasizes Frederik Meheus, CEO of Academic Software Polska.

Why Poland?

A rapidly expanding EdTech market and educational digitalization 

Poland is one of the fastest-growing EdTech markets in Europe. The value of the European educational technology sector is projected to reach USD 142 billion by 2033. Poland actively supports this trend through national initiatives such as the Digital Competence Development Strategy (until 2035) and the Education Cybersecurity Strategy. Higher education institutions and secondary schools in Poland are increasingly investing in modern digital tools, creating strong demand for comprehensive solutions like those offered by Academic Software. 

Strategic location and regional growth potential 

Warsaw, as a central hub for Central and Eastern Europe, offers access not only to the Polish market but also to neighboring countries such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, and Hungary.

Access to highly skilled IT talent and local expertise

Poland is recognized as one of Europe’s leading technology hubs, with over 50,000 IT companies and a large pool of experienced engineers, developers, and cybersecurity experts. It provides an ideal environment for scaling technical services, implementation teams, and customer support operations. 

Part of a broader European growth strategy 

Academic Software partners with key global players such as Microsoft, Adobe, Google, and IBM to provide Polish institutions with access to state-of-the-art educational technology, including cloud-based solutions and AI-powered tools. 

The decision to open a Polish office reflects a combination of factors: an attractive and growing domestic market, strategic geographic positioning, rising demand for digital learning solutions, and the opportunity for regional expansion across CEE. It also follows the company’s recent investments in Finland (Ilona IT, 2023) and Germany (asknet GmbH, 2024), further reinforcing Academic Software’s position as a European leader in digital transformation for education.
