Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. (CSE: CTTT) (OTC: CITLF) (FRA: X9V) has provided an update on its executed Letter of Intent (LOI) with H. Cegielski – Poznan S.A. (HCP), a subsidiary of Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa S.A. (PGZ), to establish a long-term strategic partnership focused on producing and deploying the Nexus 20 autonomous platform in Central and Eastern Europe. The LOI aims to combine CiTech’s Nexus 20 technology with HCP’s manufacturing and integration capabilities to address the requirements of the Polish Armed Forces and NATO’s Eastern Flank.
Under the agreed roadmap, Brenton Scott, CEO of CiTech, visited HCP headquarters in Poznan from May 20-24 to finalize commercial, technical, and logistical arrangements. The first Nexus 20 prototype has been dispatched to HCP’s Poznan facility and is expected to arrive in late July 2026 for technical evaluation, training, and Proof-of-Concept demonstrations with regional stakeholders.
The intended cooperation covers production and assembly, establishing HCP as a manufacturing hub for Nexus 20 platforms in the CEE region; technology transfer for local maintenance and support; and strategic market expansion leveraging HCP’s position within PGZ Group and CiTech’s international partnerships to pursue government and defence contracts.
“This partnership represents a significant step forward in CiTech’s international expansion strategy and will complement the establishment of our EU Headquarters in Latvia,” said Brenton Scott. “By working alongside HCP and the PGZ Group, we are positioning the Nexus 20 platform to support allied defence capabilities across Central and Eastern Europe.”
The Nexus 20 platform provides rapid, autonomous telecommunications and surveillance infrastructure designed for modern defence and security operations. The partnership aims to deliver a sovereign-capable solution for European strategic clients. More information about CiTech can be found at www.citech.com.au and about HCP at www.hcp.eu/en.
This announcement is important as it signifies progress in establishing a local manufacturing capability for advanced autonomous platforms in Poland, potentially strengthening NATO’s Eastern Flank security infrastructure and expanding CiTech’s presence in Europe.
