Investments and industrial development decisions must start from the identification of niches which have the ability to produce differentiators and increase the interest of partners to start new collaborations. Moments of crisis can act as a catalyst, but successful preparations and planning it must take place long before a country is in crisis.

With his new positioning in the field of defense and security of Romania cannot fail to take into account the challenges and vulnerabilities pre-existing and deepened by the war, such as the Green Deal, the energy market, the relationship with China or human rights. These macro themes involve expanding the debate framework for the next meeting and the involvement of all those with a decisive role in financing, management and development of defense, security, technology and related industries.
