In a world grappling with rising security concerns, Israel’s prowess in defense technology is increasingly in demand. This was evident at the recent Romanian Airport Authority conference, where IMPROVATE, an Israeli company co-owned by Irina Nevzlin and Ronit Hassin Hochman, played a key role in showcasing the capabilities of nine Israeli defense technology companies. Held annually in Constanța on the Black Sea, the conference focused on emerging security challenges, particularly in the context of ongoing tensions in Europe.
The conference, held on August 22-23, was a platform for these companies to present their latest advancements in airport security to Romanian airport authorities. Ronit Hassin Hochman, CEO of IMPROVATE, highlighted the pressing need for robust security measures in light of global instability and the demand for Israeli technology in Eastern Europe. “We are in a period of global security instability. Many European countries are restocking their defense supplies and seeking the latest technological advancements in defense and security. The demand for Israeli technologies in Romania and Eastern Europe is higher than ever,” she stated.

The conference provides a valuable platform for Israeli companies to connect with potential clients and partners in Europe, further strengthening Israel’s position as a leading innovator in the field of defense and security technology.
