The agreement defines the general framework of activities that both parties intend to undertake in order to achieve common business objectives and represents an important step in building a lasting partnership.

The agreement was signed on October 21, 2025, during the Polish–Swedish Defence Industry Forum in Warsaw, held at the Museum of the Polish Army (Warsaw Citadel). The event was organized by the Armament Policy Department of the Ministry of National Defence. Participants included, among others, the Minister of Defence of Sweden and Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of National Defence Mr. Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz. The Forum gathered representatives of government administration, the armed forces, and leading defence sector companies from Poland and Sweden. The meeting served as a platform for experience exchange, strategic dialogue, and presentation of both countries’ industrial potential. Discussions focused on the directions for developing technological cooperation, joint research and development projects, and strengthening interoperability within the European security framework. The signing of the agreement between the companies was one of the key highlights of the Forum’s program.

Saab Switzerland is a recognized manufacturer and supplier of advanced ammunition, possessing its own technology, production processes, and intellectual property rights. Saab Switzerland aims to expand its presence in the Polish market through strategic licensing partnerships, while maintaining strict control over intellectual property rights and ensuring compliance with established quality standards and technical specifications.

The signing of the MoU marks the first step toward developing a partnership aimed, among other things, at knowledge and experience exchange, the development of joint projects, and the identification of synergies in the areas of both companies’ activities. The parties declared their intent to continue discussions, which may lead to the conclusion of binding operational agreements in the future.
