Seven defense and drone companies from the Daejeon region achieved business consultations worth $15.21 million in Poland, creating an opportunity to expand direct connections with defense companies from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union (EU).

Daejeon Technopark announced that on November 13 (local time), during the "Defense Industry Technology Business Exchange" held in Warsaw, Poland, seven defense and drone companies from Daejeon achieved export consultation results amounting to $15.21 million (approximately 22.34195 billion KRW).

This business meeting was a one-on-one consultation event held locally in Warsaw, Poland, organized by Daejeon Technopark and the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA), who jointly dispatched a defense industry delegation.

Poland has recently been working to strengthen border security in its northeastern region, expanding its defense budget, and pursuing military modernization. As a result, defense cooperation with South Korea is also gradually increasing.

Seven Daejeon-based companies participated in this business meeting, showcasing future-oriented defense technologies specialized in Daejeon. They attracted significant interest from local companies and explored opportunities for cooperation with major Polish defense companies, seeking to enter the Central and Eastern European markets.

The participating companies were The Pitch (cardboard drones), Weplow (drone inspection solutions), Nes&Tech (rifle-firing unmanned aerial vehicles), Doota Technology (anti-drone), Sensortech (chemical detection equipment), Taekyung Electronics (drones), and GSS (electromagnetic wave absorbers and metasurface RAM), totaling seven companies.

Kim Wooyeon, President of Daejeon Technopark, stated, "This exchange in Poland is a result that once again proves the technological competitiveness of Daejeon's defense companies in the European market. We believe that connections with major European defense companies will serve as an important stepping stone to accelerate overseas expansion, and Daejeon Technopark will continue to provide tailored support and follow-up projects to expand exports and strengthen the foundation for global cooperation."
