Havelsan and Karel Europe to develop advanced defence technologies

Under the signed MoU, the parties have agreed to carry out joint business development activities and collaborate operationally on projects in the fields of defence and information technologies.

Şevket Ünal, Vice President of International Business Development and Marketing at Havelsan, said: “The ongoing business opportunities and bilateral meetings in the Romanian market could soon lead to the realisation of new projects. In this regard, we continue to engage with companies based in Romania. The Memorandum of Understanding we signed with Karel Europe, one of these companies, will also open doors to potential new military or civilian business opportunities in Romania.”

Yavuz Bayız, Head of Karel’s Defence Technologies Group, added: “The Memorandum of Understanding we signed with Havelsans is a significant step towards expanding the presence of our defence industry in Europe through high-tech transformation projects. As Karel Europe, by combining Karel’s engineering strength in military communications and electronic systems with Havelsan’s software-intensive solutions, we aim to deliver integrated and high value-added solutions for the Romanian defence industry. We hope that such collaborations, which create synergy in the defence industry, will continue to grow in number.”
