Imagine having an exclusive tour guide to explore the intricate world of NATO, defense innovation, and leadership. That's exactly what we have in Brigadier General Imre Porkolab, an esteemed Hungarian officer who brings his 30 years of service and extensive experience with NATO to our conversation.

Brigadier General Porkolab discusses the relevance of military principles in the civilian sector, especially in dealing with the unpredictable and rapidly changing world. He emphasizes the importance of adopting new technologies in both the military and civilian organizations, but highlights that the key lies in how these technologies are adopted and utilized by people.
