Held annually in Constanța, a city on the Black Sea, the Romanian Airport Authority conference took place August 22-23 and focused on new security challenges. Due to increasing tensions across Europe, particularly in Eastern European countries near Ukraine, many nations are bolstering their security measures, particularly at borders and entry points, to prevent potential spillovers from the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Consequently, the Romanian government sought to innovate its traditional airport conference by partnering with IMPROVATE. The objective was to organize a series of presentations from advanced Israeli defense technology companies, highlighting the latest developments in global security to local airport authorities.
Ronit Hassin Hochman, CEO of IMPROVATE, stated: “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. This conference provided an invaluable platform for Israeli companies to present their capabilities to Romania’s top security officials, resulting in numerous deals and collaborations.”
The Israeli companies presenting at the conference included:
Ortech: Specializes in designing, producing, and implementing protective solutions for buildings, critical infrastructures, sensitive sites, and structures against terrorist attacks and natural disasters, both in Israel and globally.

The conference was attended by the CEOs and security officers of Romania’s major airports, including Bucharest, Iași, Timișoara, and Craiova. The participants aimed to acquire and implement advanced Israeli defense technologies. Over the two-day event, Israeli companies presented their products and innovations to key decision-makers, followed by extensive meetings to facilitate potential deals and the adoption of these technologies in local airports.
Reports from the conference indicated strong interest from Romanian airports, and several agreements are expected to be finalized in the coming months, leading to the implementation of Israeli technologies.
Next month, IMPROVATE will host a “Smart Cities Conference” in Budapest, featuring fifteen major European cities exposed to innovative technologies from Israeli companies such as Tondo Smart, IPlus Cyber, Ipgallery, Ok2go, Wise Mon, Atmosfir, Galileo, Giv Solutions, and more.
