Polar Night Software offers software development and nearshoring services straight from Lodz. The Polar Night team comprises mainly senior developers with over 10 years of experience across modern backend, frontend, cloud, and AI/ML technologies. Spondeo CEO Tuomas Asunmaa spoke with the founder of Polar Night Software, Henri Jääskeläinen, and CTO of Polar Fournier about the local IT and nearshoring market in 2025

It is no secret that the IT sector demand side has not reached peak levels, but are there any sectors you have focused on lately?

Yes, the situation on the demand and labor market fronts are more or less the same as last year. That has allowed us to focus more heavily on the medical sector, where we have very good reference cases and skills, even related to the US market. We see growth opportunities in the Healthcare & MedTech segment, as well as in other areas where demanding development is required.

Poland has some massive investments in this sector underway. Can you also support foreign companies entering the Polish healthcare / medtech markets?

Of course, and we do. When you need to connect to local APIs and localize the service or product, you might enter into a situation when some documentation is in Polish, or contact persons require the Polish language. Our team is experienced in these matters as well. This is not only the case in medtech, but applies to many sectors, from fintech to industrial services.

You probably also have AI and related applications keeping you busy.

We have worked on several super exciting projects, tools and developments in this area. Both for startups and for mature companies. You can see some of these in our case studies on our website.

Do you have anything new coming up in 2026?

Senior expertise remains in constant demand, and there are a number of weak signals pointing to growing overall demand in 2026. Practical, no-nonsense AI implementations are also likely to grow as the hype fades.
