This is AUSA 2025: an unparalleled gathering of military professionals, defense industry leaders, and policy makers. Our CCO, Ralph Stassen, represented Hittech Group, along with Sander van der Laan, our aviation specialist at Hittech Landes.
Sander van der Laan: βWe have been working in the aerospace and defense industry for many years, manufacturing ITAR-regulated products. It was inspiring to strengthen our relationships with so many clients at the exhibit hall, which was filled with cutting-edge products and services from leading defence companies and innovative startups. And we met with some interesting parties for future cooperationβ.
