The collaboration aims to contribute to strengthening education in the field of software engineering and support the development of the future generation of professionals.
Collaborations with universities have always been one of the cornerstones of Porsche Engineering’s sustainable development strategy. Through this partnership, the company further highlights its expansion plans and commitment to promoting new competencies for the automotive industry, especially in digital domains.
In 2022, the German technology company opened its second software development office in Romania in Timisoara, following its headquarters in Cluj-Napoca.
As part of this collaboration, Porsche Engineering Romania will provide ten scholarships to UPT students. Furthermore, through mentorship programs led by Porsche Engineering professionals and internships at the company’s two offices in Romania, master’s students will gain insight into the daily activities of a software engineer in an international technology company and apply the theory they have learned directly in practice.
In 2023, Porsche Engineering Romania reached some 400 employees and continues to grow steadily in a dynamic market. The company specializes in various key areas, including AI, Big Data, Infotainment, ADAS, Connectivity, Digitalization, as well as other areas contributing to the development of intelligent and connected vehicles of the future.”
