Come find us at Pavilion G — Startups Stand! 🚀
Last week, we joined "From Local Expertise to Global Scale" — an event organized by @magurelesciencepark where we talked about Vanguard, our accelerator for defence, dual-use, and critical infrastructure startups. 🛡️
Cybersecurity, autonomous systems, aero/space, advanced manufacturing, critical infrastructure resilience — if you're building in any of these spaces, Vanguard is where frontier tech meets real operators, real procurement paths, and a region that can't afford to wait.

Yesterday at the DeepTech Romania Forum at Cotroceni Palace, we launched Vanguard — the first integrated deep tech accelerator in Southeast Europe dedicated to cybersecurity, resilience, and critical infrastructure.
As President Nicușor Dan put it: "Security is increasingly dependent on technology. Those who fail to invest in security technology will fall behind far more than they would have 20 years ago."
Vanguard is our answer to that — a six-month program running June–November 2026, connecting deep tech startups with EU & NATO funding instruments, corporate partners, and international delegations, from EIC and NATO D.I.A.N.A. to EUDIS/EDF and the NATO Innovation Fund.
DeepTech Romania Forum was initiated by Techcelerator in collaboration with @rotsa.rotechstartups and Space Tech, hosted by the @romanianpresidency with the support of @dnsc.ro , @upgrade100 , @difinepr and MyConnector.
Vanguard applications are open until May 30.

Innovation is no longer just a concept; it’s the direction we’re heading in.
Participating in the DeepTech Romania Forum 2026 was a valuable opportunity to connect with industry leaders, deep tech startups, and strategic partners.
From advanced AI and security solutions to ideas capable of reshaping entire industries, supported by strategic funding of talent, the debureaucratization of technology transfer, and increasing competitiveness through the adoption of local innovations, we witnessed firsthand the tremendous potential of the local ecosystem.
For Headlight Solutions, these kinds of contexts are key to identifying new growth directions and long-term partnerships.
We keep building!

AI is moving fast and security problems are catching up just as quickly. 🔐
If you're building or using AI systems today, this is something you can’t ignore anymore.
We’re putting together a session focused on how AI systems actually get attacked — and what you can do about it in practice. 🤖
You’ll hear from:
• Gelu Vac (Fractional CTO at Medical Pilot) — on how AI systems fail in real scenarios and what “secure by design” looks like beyond theory.
• Doru Rotovei, PhD (Head of AI at NirvSystem Corp) — breaking down LLM jailbreaks, how they actually work, and how teams defend against them in production
👥 Who should attend:
• AI enthusiasts
• Software engineers and AI practitioners
• CTOs, tech leads, and decision-makers
• Security engineers
• Founders, researchers, and AI consultants
Networking & Wine after the event. 🍷

What started at EUDIS Defence Hackathon doesn't stay in the room.
The questions asked mid-pitch, the solutions built under pressure, the moment @skyhunter.romania 's name was called — that's the kind of work that shapes what comes next. And according to the people in that room, what comes next needs to be agile, scalable, and ready for both civilian and military realities. 🛡️🌍
