In addition to the official programme, the delegation's schedule included further B2B meetings with potential partners, providing opportunities to establish new business contacts, explore potential partnerships and discuss concrete areas for future cooperation.

Maximilian Sterl, Tender and Compliance Manager at NAXCON, commented:

"The delegation provided an excellent opportunity to engage with key decision-makers in the Philippines at the highest governmental levels, while also establishing valuable contacts with potential business partners. Alongside the official meetings and conference programme, our additional B2B discussions allowed us to explore promising opportunities for future cooperation and strengthen the foundation for long-term partnerships in the region."

For NAXCON, participation provided an opportunity to present its technologies in a high-level international setting and contribute to discussions on the role of advanced technological solutions in addressing evolving security challenges.

NAXCON’s participation underlines its commitment to developing innovative technologies for demanding security and defence applications and to engaging with international partners to explore future opportunities for cooperation.
