Mission Statement

DefSec CEE Infosystem (DefSecInfo LLC - www.defsec.info) is a 24hour online Infosystem + an optional bi-weekly Newsletter in Central Eastern Europe (including Ukraine, some Caucasus, Central Asian countries) providing news, commentaries, analysis of current events related to defense/security (including energy, transport security) in the region. We have over 3000 small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in the region, we see a tendency of civil technologies penetrating “classic” defense/security industries (IT, software). They are in need of information about what is happening in other companies (partners or competitors) in the region, in other parts of Europe, in the EU/EDA/NATO, in Brussels. Deep transformation processes are going on in the region, in Europe, embracing the region’s defense and security related industry as well. All that needs information. Our infosystem wants to be part of the process.

Our Mission

Our goal is to improve the quality of our content/services information. We are an independent, private company.

We publish unbiased information to promote the deep transformation processes going on in the region, to help the local SMEs to get better access to markets within and outside of the region, to help them to catch up with other parts of Europe to integrate into functioning systems, form a unified European defense/security industry community.
