“Innovation is in the air here”

IAV Poland will primarily work in the areas of Vehicle Testing and Application, Electronic and Software Development as well as Project Management and Support.

“We are excited about the opportunities here,” said Dr. Uwe Horn, IAV’s President and Chief Human Resources Officer, after a conversation with Mayor Jacek Sutryk at Wroclaw City Hall on Thursday. “We are thankful to be welcomed with open arms and to meet our partners in person. This is the beginning of a common success story.”

Dr. Uwe Horn continues: “There is a vibrant start-up scene here – that’s why the region is called the Silicon Valley of Poland. Innovation literally is in the air here. There are well-trained young talents, and the environment with international companies from the IT and automotive sectors is a perfect fit for IAV.

For us, Poland is an important component of our international strategy: Our customers are active worldwide and expect the same from us. Poland, with its innovative power and proximity to our headquarters in Berlin, is an ideal partner at eye level.”
