Defence & Cyber Conference – South East Europe
23/08/2022

On September 19th and 20th in Hotel Balkan, IMPROVATE, a platform making technology and innovation accessible to new markets around the world, will host a Defence & Cybersecurity  Conference in light of the recent aggression of Russia against Ukraine. Key regional leaders and senior figures from the defence and cyber industries, ministers, senior military officers, defense committee members, and integrators from throughout Europe will attend and deliberate the growing Russian threat to Europe. 

The conference will be hosted by the former President of Bulgaria, Rosen Plevneliev, and will feature senior military and defense officials from across Europe along with leading Israeli defense and cyber companies. The actors at the conference will have the opportunity to present their technologies to senior representatives from regional militaries and defense ministries. 

The keynote speech at the conference will be delivered by Russian dissident Garry Kasparov, a former World Chess Champion and renowned Artificial Intelligence expert, and one of the most outspoken opponents of Vladimir Putin who has been warning for years of the dangers posed by the Russian leader.

The two-day defense conference and business meetup is being hosted by IMPROVATE at a time when the Ukraine war and subsequent instability in Central and Eastern Europe have resulted in significant changes in the military policies of European countries and a massive increase in defense spending. NATO countries are modernizing their arsenals and prioritizing procurement in a number of fields, especially cyber capabilities and defense.
