As Smith explained, the additional investment in cybersecurity confirms Microsoft’s commitment to strengthening Poland’s digital infrastructure. The computing power of the project will be used to strengthen cybersecurity in cooperation with the Polish army.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk said that the corporation had already confirmed the allocation of funding.
"Almost 3 billion zlotys, or USD 700 million to be precise, is the investment that Microsoft’s management has confirmed to us," he said.
The project was launched back in 2020 when Microsoft invested USD 1 billion in the implementation of the Polish Digital Valley. The data center, officially opened in 2023, provides cloud services to various businesses and government agencies.
Office 365 has risen in price — who will pay more
Subscriptions to Office cloud products (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) have risen significantly since 2025. Thus, for the Family Pack, subscribers will now pay USD 130 per year, and individuals will pay USD 100.
The updated prices apply only to new users. Customers who are already using Office 365 services will pay more after they decide to renew their subscription.
