BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 10. Leonardo, a
global leader in aerospace, defense, and security, sees Central
Asia as a strategically vital region, said Angelo Cecchini, the
company’s Vice President of International Business Development for
North East Asia, Oceania, Central Asia, and the India region, in an
interview with Trend.
He emphasized Leonardo’s commitment to forging lasting
partnerships in the region rather than pursuing short-term
opportunities. “Central Asia is widely recognized for its strategic
role as a bridge between Asia and Europe, its energy resources, and
its importance for regional and international security”.
Leonardo is focused on providing modular and scalable solutions
tailored to meet the region’s needs in security, infrastructure,
and disaster relief. The company’s offerings include technologies
for protecting against terrorism and cyber threats, enabling secure
transport and resource management, and supporting natural disaster
prevention and response.
During COP29 in Baku, Leonardo highlighted its contribution to
climate adaptation and decarbonization efforts, showcasing
space-based technologies for resource management, environmental
monitoring, and disaster resilience. “Our expertise supports
sustainable energy and technologies, including clean energy
deployment and risk mitigation,” the VP noted.
Leonardo is also exploring alternative propulsion systems, such
as hybrid-electric and hydrogen-based technologies, to support
Central Asia’s modernization of aviation in a sustainable way.
“We aim to promote long-term growth and stability by offering
tailored solutions and respecting the sovereignty of our partners,”
Cecchini added, positioning Leonardo as a trusted ally in the
region’s future development.
