Americans invest in the outsourcing sector

The biggest share (24 percent) of foreign companies operating in the business outsourcing sector come from the US, according a report by the Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency and Hays. Polish companies lead the ranking with a 32 percent share, followed by American (24 percent), Scandinavian (9 percent) and German, French and British (7 percent) firms. "Investors from the United States have been present in Poland for many years. A large share of American capital in the Polish BPO/SSC sector proves that they value our country not only as a location for production plants, but also as a destination for services. Thanks to US investments, the market of outsourcing and shared services has developed rapidly in Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, the Tri-City, Poznań and other Polish cities," said Wiktor Doktór, head of the Pro Progressio foundation, whose aim is to support foreign investment in Poland.
