PRESS RELEASE Participation of BlueSpace Technology CEO at the BSDA 2024 Cyber, Space, and IT&C Conference
Constantin PINTILIE, CEO of BlueSpace Technology, participated on Wednesday, November 6, at the inaugural edition of the “Cyber, Space and IT&C” conference, organized as part of the Black Sea Defense, Aerospace and Security BSDA event, held at the Military Circle. He delivered a speech during the panel discussion on “Emerging and Disruptive Technologies,” focusing on their crucial role in reshaping the defense industry.
“Do you know what underpins the development of all these emerging and disruptive technologies? Research. The relationship between technologies and research is profound and interdependent, as research provides the scientific foundation, while emerging and disruptive technologies stimulate new directions in research.
What can we say about Romanian research? Over the last 30 years, significant resources have been and are likely still being allocated to the research sector, but without ongoing dialogue and effective coordination between the education or research system and representatives of Romanian industry. What does this result in? Only projects without impact, initiatives that fail to deliver visible results for the national economy,” stated Constantin Pintilie.
The CEO outlined six reasons why private companies struggle to innovate: a lack of predictability in public procurement, no trust in Romanian products, a real risk of underperformance stemming from the research component, very high costs associated with applied research, the absence of a local production culture, and the fact that trading is easier than manufacturing in Romania. He also discussed BlueSpace Technology’s products.
“Do you know how long Romanian technological products are guaranteed? BlueSpace Technology provides a 10-year warranty for its products manufactured in Romania. In the CyberSec domain, we are in the process of certifying hardware equipment such as diodes that provide database backups or can transfer documents between two classified networks, and an IP encryptor—an open platform designed for Romanian government authorities or civilian applications,” stated Constantin Pintilie.
The Cyber, Space and IT&C BSDA 2024 conference was held under the auspices of the Ministry of National Defense and the Communications and Informatics Command of Romania, bringing together industry representatives and government decision-makers with expertise in this field.
