Industry for Defense. The Ministry of National Defense wants to strengthen cooperation with business and science.
In September, the Ministry of National Defense launched an application form for companies wishing to cooperate with the military.
The army needs innovative and interesting solutions in many areasIf you're a Polish company and have something interesting to offer the Polish Army—something innovative, something interesting—that you think would be useful to the Armed Forces? We're creating a special application form for you, specifically for industry: kontakt-przemysl.wp.mil.pl. Contact the Polish Army, share your information, and we'll get back to you," Cezary Tomczyk (KO), 10th Deputy Minister of Defense, reminded the Polish People's Republic (PKO) in a video posted on Sunday (October 5).
As we read on the website of the Ministry of Defence, this tool allows companies and research and development centres to submit proposals for products, research and development projects and scientific research which – according to the submitters – can be used in the ongoing and planned modernisation programmes of the Armed Forces.
Applications will be reviewed by the appropriate Ministry of National Defense institutions. The Ministry of National Defense reserves the right to contact only selected entities whose offers are deemed particularly relevant to the needs of the Polish Armed Forces.
