Pomerania

Pomerania is the Baltic coastal region of northern Poland around the Tri-City of Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot. On 13 October 2026 Kongsberg of Norway announced an investment of more than 200m zlotys (about €45m) in a regional plant that will make and service counter-drone equipment for SAN, Poland's national programme. The plant would bring more than 100 jobs, with series output possible from the first half of 2028.

The region already hosts much of Poland's naval industry. Remontowa Shipbuilding in Gdańsk builds the Kormoran II mine countermeasure vessels for the Polish Navy, and the navy is based at Gdynia, where its port command has bought camera modules for underwater robots. Close to 250 Pomeranian firms attended a supplier forum held by state arms group PGZ in Gdynia on 8 June 2026, where PGZ signed a cooperation agreement with the Pomeranian Special Economic Zone. Gdańsk also hosted the 2026 Ukraine Recovery Conference, where ARX Robotics and Ukraine's Roboneers founded a joint venture to build uncrewed ground vehicles.

The Kongsberg plant adds land-based air-defence production beside the shipyards. It will serve SAN, a programme Poland is paying for largely with EU SAFE defence loans, Defense News reports.
