Abstract

The chapter discusses Huawei’s presence in Poland, with the company becoming a key player in the smartphone market and a critical provider of supercomputing infrastructure, using various tools of theoretical analysis (including theories on non-market strategy and on the relationship between internationalization strategies and the institutional framework). After presenting the specificity of the Polish market for digital consumer products and communication networks, the chapter depicts Huawei’s business activities and market position in Poland, including partnerships with industrial and scientific actors. Subsequently, the chapter offers an overview of legal developments, which are expected to influence the market dynamics. In particular, it considers the balance between security concerns of the Polish regulators and the openness and competitiveness of the market for 5G networks.
