The MoU goal is to serve as a platform for strategic competence provisioning and research, providing added value to mutually strengthen BME and Ericsson.
BörjeEkholm, President and CEO, Ericsson, says: “Ericsson has a strong commitment to Hungary. The continuous growth of the local R&D organization builds on excellent results achieved by Hungarian researchers and engineers, such as the development of Ericsson Expert Analytics, our real-time analytics solution.
“This talent, strong local presence, and our track record enables us to be the main and reliable partner in the development of 5G in Hungary.
“The MoU with Budapest University of Technology and Economics is also great news for local innovation and cooperation. In addition to research results, it will enhance our reputation among students and strengthen BME’s attractiveness as a place of study.”
