Vladimír Bärtl, Ambassador of the Czech Republic to the EU, addressed questions on EU funding for defence and security.
EO Security showcased its tactical SIGINT solution EO Spectre and its anti‑eavesdropping Speech Protectors line. The forum focused on European defence, SME participation in EDF and ECCC programmes, cybersecurity, AI, satellite communications and infrastructure protection, and the role of innovation in strengthening Europe’s strategic autonomy. Participants emphasized the importance of involving small and medium‑sized enterprises in defence and security programmes to deliver practical innovation.
The program also included the ceremonial signing of a cooperation memorandum between AOBP and Agoria — BSDI, marking a step toward deeper Czech–Belgian collaboration in the defence and security industry.
