Narrative updated for the September 2026 edition.
Poland moves up to seventh at 6.21 (June: 6.13, 8th), on a private-sector pillar up 0.51 to 8.44. It keeps the EU's highest sovereign browser share, 25.32% (Firefox + Opera), ahead of Germany (24.36%). Public-sector hosting is middling (6.67, 11th): www.premier.gov.pl is fully domestic, but Warsaw's website is served by Amazon and the presidency's by Cloudflare, which also runs its DNS. Developer density (2.52, 21st) is the weak pillar.
Strengths
- Highest sovereign browser share in the EU (25.32%).
- Private-sector hosting (8.44, 7th). 54% of 491 measured
.pldomains are EU-hosted, led by OVH, Wirtualna Polska and Cyber_Folks.
Weaknesses
- Developer density (2.52, 21st).
- Two official sites on US infrastructure.
um.warszawa.pl(Amazon) rates 0.67;www.prezydent.pl(Cloudflare for web and DNS) rates 0.33. - Desktop Linux at 3.99% (19th).
Outlook
Poland's grassroots strength is unusual and stable. The presidency and Warsaw websites are the two visible levers for the public pillar; each would add more than a point to it.
Historical context
2020 baseline
In 2020, Poland was an "emerging" nation with a significant split between its geopolitical posture and its domestic software policies. It had a strong strategic agenda but an underdeveloped formal open source policy framework.
2024 progression
Poland still lacks a dedicated governmental body for promoting OSS. However, the 2021 Law on open data allows agencies to open-source publicly funded software. Initiatives are emerging in specific sectors, like the e-Health Centre's preference for open-source solutions.
