In December 2020, another nine members joined the SiEnE partnership. Currently, SiEnE has exactly 15 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 of the two other development partnerships, namely TECES (energy cluster) and SRIP Smart Buildings under the auspices of TECES. Both partnerships’ spheres of activity are being strongly intertwined with those of SiEnE, especially in light of the incorporation of the additional areas of technical applications and solutions.

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