In January 2021, another five members joined the SiEnE partnership. Currently, SiEnE has exactly 20 officially confirmed members, and a few more are in the process of being officially confirmed. Together with the new members, we are already exploring new ways of increasing their sales opportunities and of using their knowledge to develop innovative solutions for defence and civil purposes.

It should be noted that active cooperation has already been established with various members within the development partnership SRIP Smart Buildings under the auspices of TECES. The expertise of the SRIP Smart Buildings partnership complements that of SiEnE in terms of content, especially in incorporating additional areas of technical applications and solutions.

We are looking forward to further joint projects for the wellbeing of society, today and tomorrow.
