Electronic signature in Poznań: a guide for companies with Polish business partners
Poznań is Poland’s fifth-largest city and one of the country’s most important commercial centres. The famous Poznań International Fair takes place here — the oldest trade fair in the country. The city is also home to major automotive plants (VW, Solaris) and a growing IT sector. For companies trading with Polish partners, electronic signatures are the fastest way to close a deal.
Why Poznań leads in digital signing
1. International trade and fairs
The Poznań International Fair attracts thousands of business partners from across Europe. Contracts are concluded on the spot or immediately after the fair — electronic signatures are the ideal tool for this.
2. Automotive sector
VW Poznań and bus manufacturer Solaris are the backbone of local automotive production. The supply chain around them generates hundreds of contracts every month — the audit trail is a requirement in every supplier audit.
3. IT and financial sector
Poznań is one of Poland’s fastest-growing IT centres, with a strong university base. Outsourcing contracts, service agreements and financial contracts are signed digitally as standard.
Legal framework
Electronic signatures in Poland are governed by:
- eIDAS (EU 910/2014) — valid in all EU member states
- Ustawa o podpisie elektronicznym — Poland’s Electronic Signature Act
For the vast majority of commercial documents an advanced electronic signature (AdES) is sufficient. A qualified signature (QES) is required only for certain official acts.
