The National Centre for Research and Development

Electric and eco-friendly, autonomous vehicles, travel in capsules moving at the speed of sound. By no means is this science fiction! Futuristic visions of the future from years ago are now becoming the present. Congested, congested and polluted cities need solutions to improve communication and transport.

We present to you the NCBR 2020 Annual Report. The study is a summary of the another year of NCBR's activity at a particularly difficult time. It was the time not only of the global fight against the coronavirus pandemic, but also the time of dynamic changes of the Center as a modern unit, quickly responding to the needs of NCBR's clients and the market. Last year, we managed to provide our beneficiaries with funds in the amount of over PLN 5 billion for the implementation of innovative R&D projects.
