Swedish telecommunications giant Ericsson opens R & D office in Lviv.
Center research and development company “Ericsson” (R & D office) officially appear in Ukraine in the first quarter of next 2016. It was at this time the Swedish company must receive approval of state bodies and to complete all formalities.
“Ericsson” company bought IT company Ericpol. This Polish-Ukrainian-Belarusian company office in Lviv has long been cooperating with Ericsson. But after the acquisition of the Swedish company would become the official office of Ericsson.
“By purchasing units in Poland and Ukraine, Ericsson will receive a comprehensive software development in wireless access, cloud technologies and IP, the use of which will ensure the continuity of business processes,” – said in a press release.
“Ericsson” proposal to invest in Ukraine did Dmitry Shymkiv, Deputy Head of presidential administration of Ukraine in late January 2015 at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
“Representatives of the Ukrainian government met with the CEO of Ericsson Hans Vestberg and offered him the opportunity to start R & D office in Ukraine. The Swedes, in their usual manner, took this proposal seriously and began to study the infrastructure of various cities. As a result chose Lviv. This was partly because Lviv is a division of their partners Ericpol. But I want to believe that this happened is because Ericsson believes Lions formally one of the most advanced cities in terms of IT infrastructure, “-said Kenihshteyn.
Only since the beginning of 2015, the company “Ericsson” was the third large international company that decided to invest in Lviv.
Recall, the Japanese company “Fujikura” has launched a search for factory workers with the production of automotive wiring, which will be built in the industrial park. The company plans to create at least three thousand jobs at the plant, and the total investment will amount to more than $ 75 million.
