#Defence #systems are becoming increasingly software-defined and AI-driven, however, their performance still depends on high-reliability, mission-critical electronics. Representing Connect Group N.V. at the #IndustrialDefence & #Aerospace Day hosted by Akkodis CZ provided a great opportunity to engage with key players across the defence ecosystem. 🤝 The event opened with valuable strategic insights from Jiří Hynek, President of AOBP, and Petra Suchá, VP of Akkodis CZ, highlighting how geopolitical developments and rapid technological advancement are reshaping the European defence landscape. This was followed by a series of practical sessions showcasing applications in: • #SecureCommunication and cyber resilience • #AI-enabled defence solutions • #SimulationDriven development and digital environments • #AdvancedSoftware platforms A clear takeaway for me --> while innovation is accelerating across software, AI and simulation, the ability to deliver robust, compliant and high-reliability electronics remains fundamental to ensuring operational performance in battlefield conditions. At Connect Group N.V. we support this ecosystem through high-reliability electronics production for mission-critical defence applications where quality, traceability and compliance are non-negotiable. The event concluded with an excellent #networking session and live showcase of Akkodis defence solutions. Many thanks to Akkodis CZ for organising a highly relevant and well executed event!
