DisplayLink, a British IT company, decided set up its R&D centre in Katowice (Šl±sk). The decision was determined by both the accessibility to well-educated and experienced cadre and the vicinity of dynamically developing academic centres. It is envisaged that the first stage of the centre’s development entails hiring round 70 Polish specialists.
The company is famous for the invention of an internet camera and the T9 dictionary (i.e. the predictive text technology for mobile phones) and recently for devising an algorithm enabling the projection of images from one computer on several screens.
Since 2006 the company has been developing and enjoying an increasing popularity of its offer for business clients. DisplayLink is a privately held concern with four investment trusts constituting the core of the company. While the company’s headquarter is located in California, its offices are dispersed and situated in Seattle, Taiwan or the GB and its sales offices may be found in Japan and in the USA. The company’s R&D centres operate in Cambridge and now also in Katowice.
Work on software for the company’s products operating on various operational systems is planned to start off in the Katowice-based centre in September 2009. Mariusz Tomaka has been assigned the task of organising the new DisplayLink office in Poland. The Katowice City Council considers the undertaking to be a valuable acquisition in that the investment will not only beef up the attractiveness of the city itself but will also prop up the competitiveness of the future technology park which is to be constructed in the city and help attract new foreign investors.
DisplayLink admits that it was the excellent reputation of Polish engineers, the accessibility to well-qualified graduate pool and renowned Polish universities that worked as an attracting element and helped Katowice outflank other possible investment destinations. In fact, Polish specialists do stand out from among the company’s employees in the Cambridge-based R&D centre and other offices as well. This fact seems to have a lot to do with choosing Poland as the location for the R&D centre. The abovementioned accessibility to well-educated and experienced cadre together with the vicinity of dynamically developing academic centres makes the South of Poland a perfect place for investment.
