The Eastern Front Infrastructure Resilience Initiative (E-FIRI) brings together the collective strengths of Eastern Front NATO countries to protect and enhance our critical infrastructures. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as IoT sensors, digital twins, and BIM modeling, EFIRI aims to ensure the resilience and security of energy facilities, transportation networks, water supply systems, telecommunications, urban infrastructure, and seaports. Join us in this transformative effort to safeguard our future and build a more resilient world.
