Critical Infrastructure Technologies Partners with U.S. Defense Advisory Firm to Expand Market Reach

Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. has executed a Non-Disclosure Agreement with Pathfinder Ventures Inc., a U.S.-based strategic advisory firm specializing in defense, government, and advanced technology programs. This agreement establishes the foundation for exploring strategic collaboration in U.S. and allied defense markets, focusing on government engagement, defense contracting, and technology integration opportunities for CiTech's Nexus 20 Rapid Deployment Radio Base Station.

The partnership represents a crucial expansion strategy for CiTech across North American defense, homeland security, and emergency services sectors. Pathfinder Ventures will leverage its extensive network of defense, intelligence, and technology contacts across the U.S. Government and private sector to support CiTech's market entry strategy. The NDA enables the exchange of confidential technical, strategic, and commercial information between the companies, facilitating deeper collaboration on government engagement and commercialization efforts.

Brenton Scott, CEO of CiTech, emphasized the strategic importance of this relationship, stating that Pathfinder Ventures brings exceptional experience in U.S. defense engagement. The collaboration aims to position CiTech's Nexus 20 system as a cutting-edge transformative communications and ISR capability for U.S. and allied forces. This aligns with CiTech's objective to expand its footprint across NATO and Five Eyes nations, supporting sovereign defense initiatives and coalition interoperability.

Jason Kirby, President of Pathfinder Ventures, brings senior leadership experience as the former commander of U.S. Air Force Special Operations in the Indo-Pacific region. Kirby expressed excitement about partnering with CiTech to bring world-class Australian technology to the U.S. market, noting that the Nexus 20 system addresses critical needs in deployable communications, ISR, and counter-UAS infrastructure with unique technological advantages covering key priorities across defense sectors.

The agreement marks the first step toward a broader business development and advisory partnership, with subsequent actions including an operational assessment for establishing domestic manufacturing and assembly at strategic locations within the U.S. This strategic alignment complements CiTech's mission to deliver advanced, deployable infrastructure solutions for defense and emergency response operations while navigating the complex federal procurement and contracting landscape.
