MSPO 2025: Saab signs accords with PGZ and WB Group

Saab signed accords with both PGZ and WB Group on the opening day of the MSPO 2025 defence exhibition, held at Targi Kielce from 2 to 5 September.

With PGZ, Poland’s largest defence corporation, Saab signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) confirming the two companies’ interest in exploring potential co-operation on projects related to the development of defence solutions for multi-domain operations. Both companies will also evaluate possibilities for joint initiatives supporting Ukraine, including co-operation with the Ukrainian defence industry.

The co-operation could include various projects across the air, land, and naval domains, with the goal being to build industrial relationships that could lead to a strategic partnership between the two companies that would play an active role in modernising the capabilities of the Polish armed forces.

“We are pleased to have signed this agreement today, and look forward to co-operating with the PGZ Group,” Micael Johansson, president and CEO of Saab, was quoted as saying in a company press release. “This is another important milestone in strengthening the collaboration between the Polish and Swedish defence industries. There is great potential for expanding the existing partnership between our nations to ensure security and stability in Europe, including the Baltic Sea region.”

The agreement with WB Group, meanwhile, establishes a strategic accord between the two companies to explore potential co-operation in areas including unmanned aerial vehicles, naval solutions and border protection systems.

“This marks another significant step in Saab’s commitment to advancing strategic defence capabilities between Poland and Sweden,” said Johansson.  “Partnering with WB Group enables us to share expertise and scale up innovation to deliver cutting-edge solutions for national security.”
