The unique benefit of the Future Forces Forum is precisely its ability to bring together people, ideas, and technologies from around the world through a mix of networking, exhibitions, and expert panels, making it an essential event of its kind.

Challenges such as the Russian war in Ukraine, cyber terrorism, and others demand a truly serious approach at a professionally organized level. For this reason, I fully support this project and consider it excellent that Prague and the Czech Republic serve as the venue for dozens of specialized events, meetings of hundreds of exhibitors, and thousands of experts from dozens of countries.

Bringing experts from NATO, state representatives, ministries, security forces, scientists, and manufacturers of critical security technologies to one table is exactly what we need today. The Future Forces Forum is an outstanding opportunity not only for discussion but also for connecting as many people as possible from various security sectors, and it is an opportunity that must be fully utilized.

I wish you every success in your deliberations!
