Critical Infrastructure Technologies and Aegis Critical Energy Defence Corp. Sign Confidentiality Agreement to Explore Secure Energy and Digital Platform Collaboration

Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. (CSE: CTTT) (OTC: CITLF) (FRA: X9V), a developer of autonomous, high-capacity mobile communications and security platforms, has executed a Non-Disclosure Agreement with Aegis Critical Energy Defence Corp., a Canadian energy technology company specializing in advanced battery energy storage systems for defence, critical infrastructure, industrial, and AI data centre applications. The agreement establishes a framework for the two companies to exchange confidential information and evaluate potential collaboration opportunities across secure energy, digital platforms, and critical infrastructure applications.

The Confidentiality Agreement does not commit either party to a transaction or partnership but enables structured discussions while protecting proprietary and sensitive information, with the aim of potentially leading to a Memorandum of Understanding. Under the NDA, Aegis and CiTech will explore areas of mutual interest that may include secure and resilient energy systems, digital platforms and systems integration, critical infrastructure and defence-adjacent use cases, and public safety, emergency response, and national resilience initiatives.

Paul Dickson, CEO of Aegis, stated that the agreement allows both organizations to assess how their respective capabilities could align in secure energy and digital domains, calling it an important step in responsibly exploring collaboration opportunities in regulated and critical infrastructure environments. Brenton Scott, CEO of CiTech, added that CiTech works extensively in secure, mission-critical digital environments and that the NDA provides an appropriate foundation to explore potential collaboration with Aegis while maintaining strong governance and information protection.

CiTech, listed on the CSE with operations in Perth, Western Australia, is creating autonomous, high-capacity, rapidly deployable technology that delivers essential services to sectors including mining, defence, border security, surveillance, and emergency services. Its first product, the Nexus 16, aims to provide critical mobile telecommunications for these sectors. Using patented technologies, CiTech's self-deploying platform addresses limitations of current rapidly deployable communication solutions, such as tower strength and the ability to rapidly self-deploy and operate, and is designed to support equipment including LTE and other technological payloads like surveillance and anti-drone systems.

Aegis Critical Energy Defence Corp. develops and integrates advanced battery energy storage systems for defence, critical infrastructure, industrial, and AI data centre applications, delivering rugged, intelligent, and secure energy systems designed for mission-critical operations through strategic partnerships with Indigenous communities and global technology leaders.

The collaboration exploration comes at a time when the resilience of critical infrastructure is increasingly vital. The potential integration of CiTech's mobile communications and security platforms with Aegis's advanced energy storage systems could lead to more robust solutions for sectors where uninterrupted power and secure data transmission are paramount, such as national defence, emergency response, and data-intensive AI operations. This strategic move highlights a growing trend of cross-sector partnerships aimed at fortifying infrastructure against disruptions and evolving threats, which could have significant implications for national security, industrial efficiency, and public safety initiatives worldwide.
