Description (French)
Ce projet servira à développer et à étendre la présence de Proto dans le secteur de la défense. Les certifications relatives aux marchandises contrôlées et les procédures de cybersécurité pertinentes seront mises en place pour garantir le maintien de l’intégrité et de la confidentialité des données. Un effort important sera également nécessaire sur le plan du marketing afin que les intervenants des différentes industries liées à la défense prennent conscience des capacités de Proto ainsi que de la valeur ajoutée qu’elles apportent lorsqu’elles sont appliquées à leurs problèmes spécifiques. Le projet soutiendra également la recherche dans le cadre d’initiatives déjà identifiées (actuellement non financées) afin que des solutions techniques puissent être développées et intégrées dans la chaîne d’approvisionnement des marchés publics de défense.
