The intensity of investment in research and development of the Polish aviation companies are among the largest in the world. Therefore we are pleased that we were able to inspire Lublin environment for cooperation. We are convinced that the functioning of the cluster will lead to improved competitiveness of businesses in the participating and Lublin airline industry will return to the world league” – said Krzysztof Żuk, President of Lublin.
A cluster is a structure that facilitates the flow of information, processes conducive to learning and stimulating innovation.

We are investing in new quality of relations between enterprises based on interdependencies, cooperation and trust” – said Krzysztof Hetman, Marshal of Lublin Region.
The coordinator of Lublin Cluster of Aerospace Advanced Technology is PZL-Świdnik company, which will perform activities including building networks between members of the cluster for the effective use of existing capabilities, development of advanced technologies in the aviation industry through the exchange of knowledge, experience and the development of regional cooperation links.

We are pleased that PZL – Świdnik, along with the city of Lublin and the Marshal’s Office will be able to lead and develop this idea. Today’s agreement is the first step on our long journey, also developing collaborations and opportunities with the network of similar clusters already existing in other European countries” – said Nicola Blanco, Managing Director of PZL- Świdnik .
PZL- Świdnik, successfully associated with the production of aviation products for over 60 years, is a natural choice to become a Lublin coordinator of the Cluster for Advanced Aerospace Technology. Thanks to the Company commitment, the building of a brand of the cluster, as a highly innovative environment, supporting the development of a modern economy in Lublin and in the Lublin region – is realized.
“We assume the cluster will be able to organize the already existing co-operation of companies in the aviation industry in the Lublin region better” – says Mieczysław Majewski, president of Board of PZL-Świdnik.
