The Hungarian Ministry of Defence and EDGE, a leading figure in advanced technological solutions and defence innovations, have established a memorandum of understanding (MOU) during a notable visit by Hungary’s Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, to the UAE. This document focuses on defence innovations, in addition to research and development initiatives. This collaboration also paves the way for potential multi-million-euro agreements involving EDGE and its subsidiaries, emphasizing the extensive possibilities for future partnerships.
The agreement was formalized during a distinguished ceremony in Abu Dhabi, featuring Hungary’s Prime Minister, Hungary’s Minister of Defence, and top officials from EDGE. This significant moment exemplifies Hungary’s confidence in EDGE’s state-of-the-art defence solutions and highlights the importance of the Hungarian Prime Minister’s visit to the UAE, which has reinforced bilateral relations and enhanced cooperation.
Hamad Al Marar, the Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director of EDGE, remarked: “This agreement marks a significant leap forward in the collaboration between EDGE and the Hungarian Ministry of Defence. It reflects our mutual commitment to enhancing defence capabilities and fostering innovation while representing a vital milestone as EDGE strengthens its association with NATO member countries. We look forward to building on this success through further collaboration, including the provision of CARACAL sniper rifles to the Hungarian Defence Forces, marking EDGE’s first supply of such systems to a NATO member nation.”
The Hungarian Prime Minister’s visit to the UAE fortifies the developing strategic alliance between the two nations. High-level discussions during the visit focused on expanding bilateral cooperation in defence, technology, and innovation, resonating with shared ambitions for enhanced security.
This partnership sets the stage for EDGE’s entry into European and NATO markets, further solidifying the UAE’s position as a global leader in defence innovation. By aligning with Hungary’s defence objectives, EDGE is strategically positioned to deliver tailored, high-tech solutions while fostering lasting strategic partnerships across Europe.
