Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. (CSE: CTTT) (OTC: CITLF) (FRA: X9V) ("CiTech") has provided an update to its executed Letter of Intent (LOI) with H. Cegielski – Poznan S.A. (HCP), a subsidiary of Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa S.A. (PGZ), to establish a strategic partnership focused on the production and deployment of the Nexus 20 autonomous platform in Central and Eastern Europe. The partnership aims to combine CiTech’s Nexus 20 technology with HCP’s manufacturing and integration capabilities to address the requirements of the Polish Armed Forces and NATO’s Eastern Flank.
According to the update, CiTech CEO Brenton Scott visited HCP headquarters in Poznan between May 20-24 to progress 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.
Under the LOI, the intended cooperation includes production and assembly at HCP as a manufacturing hub for Nexus 20 platforms in the CEE region, technology transfer for local maintenance and operational support, and strategic market expansion 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 for modern defence and critical security operations. By combining CiTech’s advanced platform with HCP’s industrial manufacturing capabilities and integration within the Polish defence sector, the partnership aims to deliver a sovereign-capable solution for European strategic clients.
"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."
HCP, founded in 1846, is a Polish industrial and engineering company specialising in large-scale mechanical manufacturing, defence production, and industrial solutions.
