Critical Infrastructure Technologies Advances Nexus 20 Partnership with Polish Defence Firm H. Cegielski

Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. (CSE: CTTT) (OTC: CITLF) (FRA: X9V) announced an update to its executed Letter of Intent with H. Cegielski – Poznan S.A. (HCP), a subsidiary of Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa S.A. (PGZ), to establish a long-term strategic partnership for the production and deployment of the Nexus 20 autonomous platform in Central and Eastern Europe.

The LOI outlines a roadmap that includes a visit by CEO Brenton Scott to HCP headquarters in Poznan and the delivery of the first Nexus 20 prototype to HCP's facility. Between May 20-24, Scott visited HCP's headquarters, inspecting factories and advancing discussions. The first Nexus 20 has now been dispatched and is expected to arrive at HCP's Poznań facility in late July 2026.

Under the LOI, the intended cooperation covers production and assembly, technology transfer, and strategic market expansion. HCP is envisioned as a manufacturing and integration hub for Nexus 20 platforms in the CEE region, with technology transfer to ensure local maintenance, training, and operational support. The partnership aims to leverage HCP's position within the PGZ Group and CiTech's international partnerships to pursue government and defence contracts.

The Nexus 20 platform provides rapid, autonomous telecommunications and surveillance infrastructure designed for modern defence and critical security operations. By combining CiTech's platform technology with HCP's industrial manufacturing capabilities and integration within the Polish defence sector, the partnership aims to deliver a sovereign-capable solution for European strategic clients.

"This partnership represents a significant step forward in CiTech's international expansion strategy and will compliment the establishment of our EU Headquarters in Latvia," said Brenton Scott, Chief Executive Officer of Critical Infrastructure Technologies. "By working alongside HCP and the PGZ Group, we are positioning the Nexus 20 platform to support allied defence capabilities across Central and Eastern Europe."
