During the cooperation, the holding company will integrate several previously independent companies, thus providing a complex and competitive offering for both domestic and international customers. This will also help develop domestic supply chains and strengthen job creation in Hungary’s high-tech sector. The government plays a key role in supporting the project, as it considers the development of the defense industry, particularly in the fields of space and digital technologies, to be of paramount importance.
The partnership between N7 Holding and 4iG is not only an economic step forward but also a significant security policy move, expected to elevate Hungary’s position on the global defense innovation map.
