Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. (CSE: CTTT) (OTC: CITLF) (FRA: X9V), a developer of autonomous mobile communications and security platforms, 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), Poland's leading defence and industrial group. The partnership aims to establish a long-term strategic collaboration focused on producing and deploying the Nexus 20 autonomous platform in Central and Eastern Europe.
Under the LOI, CiTech and HCP intend to combine CiTech's Nexus 20 technology with HCP's manufacturing, integration, and support capabilities to address the requirements of the Polish Armed Forces and NATO's Eastern Flank. Between May 20-24, CiTech CEO Brenton Scott visited HCP's headquarters in Poznan to advance commercial, technical, and logistical arrangements. The first Nexus 20 prototype unit 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 scope of cooperation includes production and assembly, establishing HCP as a manufacturing hub for Nexus 20 platforms in the CEE region; technology transfer to ensure local maintenance, training, and operational support; and strategic market expansion by leveraging HCP's position within the PGZ Group and CiTech's international partnerships to pursue government and defence contracts. The Nexus 20 platform provides rapid, autonomous telecommunications and surveillance infrastructure designed to support modern defence and critical security operations.
"This partnership represents a significant step forward in CiTech's international expansion strategy and will compliment the establishment of our EU Headquarters in Latvia," said Brenton Scott, CEO of Critical Infrastructure Technologies. "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."
