Today, March 3, 2026, the Polish-Slovak Defense-Industrial Dialogue is taking place in Bratislava, bringing together representatives of the public sector, financial institutions, and defense companies from both countries.

Participating in the meeting are, among others, Minister of National Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, Minister of Defense of the Slovak Republic Róbert Kaliňák, Government Plenipotentiary for the SAFE Instrument, Undersecretary of State in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka, Vice-President of the Management Board of PGZ S.A. Marcin Idzik, President of the Association of the Slovak Defense Industry (ZBOP) Pavol Čahoj, and representatives of the defense ministries – directors Sławomir Cichocki and Martin Čatloš.

The Polish-Slovak Defense Industrial Dialogue aims not only to review existing cooperation and highlight the production potential offered to the armed forces by the defense sectors of both countries. The conference is also an opportunity to outline new opportunities for cooperation, develop synergistic solutions, and identify new areas of cooperation.

Key areas of cooperation include:

• development of joint production capabilities,
• increasing the production of ammunition and systems for land forces,
• technological innovations, including unmanned systems,
• strengthening the resilience of NATO and EU supply chains,
• financing large-scale projects – including through the SAFE program.

Industrial cooperation has a real strategic dimension – the partners are focusing on integrating capabilities to create joint defense projects that can contribute to strengthening the security of the entire region.

Representatives of DEZAMET S.A. also actively participate in this group, which highlights the involvement of Polish enterprises in international defense initiatives and their readiness to create innovative solutions in cooperation with foreign partners.
