Kongsberg Maritime Poland has been awarded a grant by the Ministry of Development and Technology (MRiT) for the development of a research and development center in Szczecin, as announced by the Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH), which supported the company's application for assistance.
In 2022, every other project supported by PAIH came from the BSS/R&D sector. Kongsberg Group specializes in advanced technological systems and solutions for the maritime, defense, aviation, oil and gas, and renewable energy industries.
The investment aims to
enhance the company's research and development capabilities through the
employment of a team of several dozen specialists. It involves expanding
the laboratory, hiring 60 software engineers, testers, and managers, as
well as funding training programs. The project also includes
collaboration with the Maritime University of Szczecin and the West
Pomeranian University of Technology, providing opportunities for further
development of specialized knowledge and utilization of their
expertise. Kongsberg Maritime Poland will receive a government grant of
PLN 744,750 for the investment.
PAIH, as part of the Polish Development Fund Group, provides advisory services and support for obtaining public assistance. The agency has positively decided on over 70 BSS/R&D projects last year, reflecting the growing interest in Poland as a location for research and development centers.
