Defence and Aerospace Projects Showcase Industry Leadership
Novian's achievements in the software services domain were not limited to their core offerings; the last year also saw groundbreaking activities in defense, aviation, and space projects, undertaken in collaboration with European partners. The company has been active in various defense projects since 2004, with seven initiatives funded by the European Commission launched in 2024. Currently, Novian is engaged in four key projects, including PEONEER and SESIOP, focusing on enhancing military interoperability and developing advanced ammunition technology.
Innovating Against Hybrid Threats
Continuing its commitment to security, Novian is developing the HIPSTER project, which focuses on creating a sophisticated software system to identify and neutralize hybrid threats. This initiative uses advanced technologies like OSINT, SocMINT, NLP, and AI to automatically detect threats and implement countermeasures, aligning the project's goals with broader EU initiatives.
Embracing New Markets and Startup Ecosystems
In addition to its defense contributions, Novian has also expanded its scope into the public sector with cloud computing projects in African nations. The company continues to enhance its service portfolio by offering comprehensive IT infrastructure solutions and introducing high-performance computing technologies designed for weather forecasting and climate change modeling.
