There is currently a strong competition among many countries, especially in Central and Eastern Europe, to attract companies and jobs with high knowledge content.

 

By “knowledge process outsourcing” means that companies no longer just are putting out the traditional production, but also work in research, development, design, programming, etc. There is a tendency that not only large but also small companies considering nearshoring to for example Poland. Several Norwegian industries that depend on qualified personnel in engineering and IT disciplines, report on access to expertise as a bottleneck.

 

Good brains are still in Poland, but the more international companies coming here, the greater the competition for the best. Thus comes an increasing number of Norwegian companies in dilemma whether to outsource parts of its knowledge process like its competitors, and in that case, where. Innovation Norway welcomes companies and networks considering nearshoring  to Poland to contact Innovation Norway’s office in Warsaw.
