Innovation – the Driving Force behind Comarch

Comarch is a strong, knowledge based company, with significant experience in developing sophisticated software and IT solutions for several key sectors. Most products offered by Comarch are developed in-house.  Comarch's capacity for constant innovation is backed by its vast experience, highly qualified human resources (1500 experts employed in several research and development centers around the World) and above all, by considerable R&D investments.

A major part of Comarch’s strategy is to conduct research and development aimed at implementing new products and their standardization from the very beginning, when they are being prepared for a customer. This ensures that even if a solution has been developed for a particular client, some, or all of the software code can be used to develop a standardized product. Such a strategy results in higher profitability and a growing customer base.

Cooperation with Research Institutions

Comarch cooperates with leading universities and research institutions in conducting R&D projects financed at the European and Polish levels. Such cooperation enables the exchange of knowledge in both directions, enhancing innovativeness. This results in the commercialization of research and provides Comarch with the opportunity to constantly interact with academic institutions.
