On September 10, the Czech Embassy organised a Round Table of Czech and Swedish Software and Technology Companies of Defence and Security Industry. The event was held in cooperation with the Association of the Defence and Security Industry of the Czech Republic represented by President Jiří Hynek, and the Swedish Security and Defence Industry Association represented by Secretary General Robert Limmergård.
After an opening remarks by Anita Grmelová, Ambassador of the Czech Republic to Sweden, who recalled the recently signed declaration on defence cooperation between the Czech Republic and Sweden, and after an introductory speech by the heads of the associations, the presentation part took place, when representatives of individual companies presented their products and solutions. Some of the companies targeted already identified partners, while for the other companies the opportunity to approach new partners was opened. Feedback from participants was positive in all cases. The chairmen of the associations called for closer cooperation between our countries and defence industry companies and for similar events in the future. The Embassy remains in contact with all participants and is ready to build on this successful project in the future.
On the eve of the event itself, the Embassy organised a briefing dinner for the Czech participants, where representatives of companies had the opportunity to discuss the situation in the industry and related sectors in Sweden with the Embassy's management and the Director of CzechTrade. The briefing also included a subsequent presentation by Kateřina Strömsholm, an attorney specializing in commercial and competition law and Honorary Consul of the Czech Republic in Malmö.
