On November 10, ASSIST Software participated in the Conference on Defence Industrial Cooperation between Germany and Romania, an event organized by AHK Romania under the patronage of the President of Romania. The conference brought together senior European officials, defence organizations, ambassadors, and technology leaders, with representatives from the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy and the German Embassy in Bucharest, to explore new opportunities for cooperation in a rapidly evolving security context.

Representing ASSIST Software were Gheorghe David (Co-founder & Managing Partner) and Gabriel Tironeac (Vice President of Innovation). The two engaged in discussions on the future of digital capabilities in defence, presenting the company’s expertise in AI-driven simulation systems, command-and-control platforms, digital twins, and advanced data-centric technologies.

Europe’s Defence Landscape Is Evolving

In recent years, Europe has seen a significant increase in defense investments, reflecting the need for stronger interoperability, resilient infrastructure, and modern digital systems. Many EU and NATO member states have raised their defence budgets at the fastest pace in decades, with Germany reaching the 2% NATO benchmark and expanding funding for innovation and industrial modernization. Romania continues to follow a similar trajectory, strengthening its position as a reliable regional partner.

This shift creates new opportunities for technology companies with strong R&D capabilities. ASSIST Software reinforces the value of developing defense solutions built around AI, simulation, data integration, and secure architectures, technologies that directly support operational readiness and mission-critical decision-making.

Strengthening Collaboration Between Germany and Romania

The conference underscored the growing alignment between Germany and Romania in defence priorities. Discussions covered joint R&D opportunities, modernization of defence technologies, secure digital transformation, and the importance of industrial cooperation within NATO and the EU.

For ASSIST Software, this context highlighted the crucial role Romanian engineering can play in Europe’s defence ecosystem. Our solutions, from simulation platforms to decision-support tools, demonstrate how innovation developed in Suceava can integrate seamlessly with the needs of European partners.

Expanding Our European Presence

ASSIST Software’s participation at the conference aligns with a broader expansion strategy in Europe. In 2025, the company opened a new office in Augsburg, Germany, strengthening its ability to collaborate directly with organizations in defence, industrial automation, manufacturing, and AI-driven innovation. 

The new office enhances project coordination, accelerates development timelines, and supports long-term partnerships with clients across the DACH region. 

Building a Connected and Secure Digital Future

ASSIST Software’s presence at the German–Romanian Defence Cooperation Conference reflects our commitment to contributing to Europe’s digital transformation in defence. By combining Romanian innovation with cross-border collaboration, we continue to support the development of secure, interoperable, and future-ready technologies for partners across the continent.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can you integrate AI into an existing software product?

Absolutely. Our team can assess your current system and recommend how artificial intelligence features, such as automation, recommendation engines, or predictive analytics, can be integrated effectively. Whether it's enhancing user experience or streamlining operations, we ensure AI is added where it delivers real value without disrupting your core functionality.

2. What types of AI projects has ASSIST Software delivered?

We’ve developed AI solutions across industries, from natural language processing in customer support platforms to computer vision in manufacturing and agriculture. Our expertise spans recommendation systems, intelligent automation, predictive analytics, and custom machine learning models tailored to specific business needs.

3. What is ASSIST Software's development process?  

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) we employ defines the following stages for a software project. Our SDLC phases include planning, requirement gathering, product design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.

4. What software development methodology does ASSIST Software use?  

ASSIST Software primarily leverages Agile principles for flexibility and adaptability. This means we break down projects into smaller, manageable sprints, allowing continuous feedback and iteration throughout the development cycle. We also incorporate elements from other methodologies to increase efficiency as needed. For example, we use Scrum for project roles and collaboration, and Kanban boards to see workflow and manage tasks. As per the Waterfall approach, we emphasize precise planning and documentation during the initial stages.

5. I'm considering a custom application. Should I focus on a desktop, mobile or web app?  

We can offer software consultancy services to determine the type of software you need based on your specific requirements. Please explore what type of app development would suit your custom build product.   

  • A web application runs on a web browser and is accessible from any device with an internet connection. (e.g., online store, social media platform)   
  • Mobile app developers design applications mainly for smartphones and tablets, such as games and productivity tools. However, they can be extended to other devices, such as smartwatches.    
  • Desktop applications are installed directly on a computer (e.g., photo editing software, word processors).   
  • Enterprise software manages complex business functions within an organization (e.g., Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)).

6. My software product is complex. Are you familiar with the Scaled Agile methodology?

We have been in the software engineering industry for 30 years. During this time, we have worked on bespoke software that needed creative thinking, innovation, and customized solutions. 

Scaled Agile refers to frameworks and practices that help large organizations adopt Agile methodologies. Traditional Agile is designed for small, self-organizing teams. Scaled Agile addresses the challenges of implementing Agile across multiple teams working on complex projects.  

SAFe provides a structured approach for aligning teams, coordinating work, and delivering value at scale. It focuses on collaboration, communication, and continuous delivery for optimal custom software development services. 

7. How do I choose the best collaboration model with ASSIST Software?  

We offer flexible models. Think about your project and see which models would be right for you.   

  • Dedicated Team: Ideal for complex, long-term projects requiring high continuity and collaboration.   
  • Team Augmentation: Perfect for short-term projects or existing teams needing additional expertise.   
  • Project-Based Model: Best for well-defined projects with clear deliverables and a fixed budget.   

Contact us to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each model.
