Artificial intelligence developed in Romania is gaining visibility within Germany’s defense industry and becoming increasingly relevant to the European Union’s security ecosystem, at a time when Europe is seeking fast, secure, and sovereign solutions for its defense infrastructure.
Dual-use technologies developed by Romanian companies are emerging as viable alternatives for defense partnerships in an ecosystem that demands flexibility, sovereignty, and scalability – this was the main conclusion of the defense innovation event organized by the Embassy of Romania in Berlin, in partnership with OVES Enterprise and the Federal Association of the German Security and Defense Industry (BDSV).
During the event – attended by over 90 representatives of relevant institutions, organizations, and companies – OVES Enterprise presented how its technology can contribute to transforming the security paradigm in line with the European Union’s new strategic priorities. The European Commission is proposing that 40% of defense procurement take place within the EU, as part of a rearmament effort aimed at reducing dependency on external suppliers and strengthening internal capabilities.
“With our proprietary solution, Nemesis AI, we are not only delivering technology, but transforming the entire security paradigm – adaptability and digital sovereignty are the future of defense. While others focus on traditional weapons, we emphasize intelligent systems that will define the weapons of the future”, said Mihai Filip, Founder and CEO of OVES Enterprise, explaining how artificial intelligence can be integrated into critical defense systems.
The discussions in Berlin – which brought together leaders of the defense industry, military technology experts, and NATO officials – highlighted the growing role of agile suppliers from Central and Eastern Europe, capable of delivering critical technologies quickly, with both civil and military applications. Romania is thus emerging not only as an industrial capacity provider, but also as a relevant actor in shaping new standards for digital sovereignty in security.
“Romania is undergoing a dynamic transformation of its defense industry, based on tradition and technological innovation – and one of the key pillars of this evolution is the partnership with Germany. Close cooperation with European partners is essential to ensure strategic autonomy and integrated solutions in response to today’s security challenges”, said Her Excellency Adriana Stănescu, Ambassador of Romania to the Federal Republic of Germany, who emphasized the rapid transformation of Romania’s defense industry, backed by engineering expertise, manufacturing capabilities, and investments in research and development.
