CONDOR and 4iG Space and Defence Technologies (S&D) to Develop Regional Hub for Non-Lethal Solutions in Hungary
CONDOR, a Brazilian leader in non-lethal technologies and part of the UAE’s EDGE Group, has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with 4iG Space and Defence Technologies (S&D), a key player in telecommunications, IT, and defence industries in Hungary and the Western Balkans. The agreement will see both parties collaborate on exploring the establishment of a regional hub in Hungary for advanced non-lethal defence solutions.
Under the MoU, 4iG S&D and CONDOR will assess opportunities to produce non-lethal solutions in Hungary. Key initiatives will include exploring technology transfers, manufacturing, training and capacity building, and joint research projects.
Frederico Aguiar, CEO of CONDOR, highlighted the significance of the partnership, emphasizing,
“With the strong backing of EDGE, our partnership with 4iG S&D represents a strategic step in advancing Hungary’s defence industry and supporting the wider European security ecosystem. This MoU reflects our shared commitment to delivering sovereign, localised non-lethal solutions that enhance the capabilities of Central European law enforcement and regional security forces. By fostering enduring partnerships across Europe, we aim to catalyse innovation, strengthen industrial collaboration, and contribute to the development of next-generation technologies that safeguard our societies.”
The long-term partnership between 4iG SDT and EDGE is focused on producing joint developments, competitive on an international level and meeting NATO member states’ technological and security policy requirements. István Sárhegyi, CEO of 4iG SDT, stated,
“The cooperation agreement now signed with CONDOR creates the opportunity to lay the foundations for a regional centre in the field of limited-impact, traumatic defence solutions through joint developments, knowledge transfer, and industrial synergies. The agreement can serve as an excellent example and also marks the beginning of cross-continental cooperation.”
This latest agreement forms part of EDGE’s ongoing partnership with 4iG S&D. In July, EDGE and 4iG S&D signed three MoUs focused on significant industrial cooperation between the United Arab Emirates and Hungary. This included plans to explore the joint development and production of advanced systems such as the SKYKNIGHT air defence missile system, the SHADOW 25 and SHADOW 50 loitering munitions, and VEGA and ORION unmanned air traffic control solutions.
The series of agreements underscore EDGE’s commitment to strengthening ties with key European defence ecosystems. By forging dynamic partnerships and co-developing export-ready solutions, EDGE continues to support the evolving modernisation requirements of NATO countries.
