This collaboration seeks to use the industry expertise of both companies to strengthen and uplift the US technological leadership and advancement while simultaneously enhancing Europe’s sovereign industrial base.
The MOU also hopes to enhance NATO’s capabilities through prioritising rapid innovation between the companies and respective nations.
“Defence industry relations between the United States and Hungary play a key role within the NATO alliance,” said Dr István Sárhegyi, CEO at 4iG.
“The collaboration with Northrop Grumman, one of America’s leading defence companies, marks an important milestone in strengthening these ties.”
“I am proud that this cooperation positions Hungary as a European partner and hub for selected technologies, contributing not only to the development of the Hungarian defence industry, but to Europe’s defence capabilities as a whole.”
