Rohde & Schwarz has officially opened its new software development lab in Rwanda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the first research and development initiative on the African continent for the company that develops, produces and markets innovative information and communications technology products for professional users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The software lab in the Rwandan capital of Kigali is both the Munich based company’s first subsidiary in Central Africa and also its first R&D location anywhere on the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peter Riedel, President and COO of Rohde & Schwarz, said: “Africa is an enormous growth market and Rwanda is a trailblazer in digitalisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRohde & Schwarz is making a long-term commitment for sustainable growth and stability. We want to develop products for the global market together with our team in Rwanda.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the spirit of the Rohde & Schwarz subsidiary in Singapore, which has grown into a major Asian hub over the past 25 years, the company will be continuously expanding the new lab in Kigali. The next steps will include activities in the area of cybersecurity and the support of local students and engineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The official opening ceremony, which was postponed because of COVID-19 restrictions, underscored the importance of this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rohde & Schwarz will co-operate closely with local partners and support talent in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
