At EURONAVAL exhibition 2018, PRINCIPIA signed an agreement with University of South Australia in the presence of Steven Marshall, South Australia’s prime minister. This agreement is part of its development in Australia with the recent creation of its subsidiary PRINCIPIA Engineering Australia, based in Adelaide, to meet the very important Naval Defence programs for the coming years: future submarines with Naval Group, evolution of existing submarines and frigates. Given the level of expertise required by this sensitive activity sector, the main objectives of the agreement are to contribute to increasing the skills of engineers by participating in their operational training and actively to R & D programs.
