Connections Tech

Q1 2026 results talk about the reality of our new chapter.

Connections closed the first quarter of 2026 with a
net profit of 7.89 million RON, up 901% versus Q1 2025,
and a gross profit margin of 36%, compared to 7% a year ago.
Revenue reached 25.8 million RON, a 33% increase year-on-year.

These are the first results that fully reflect the business we have been building: a model focused on high value-added software, digital transformation and emerging technologies, with no margin dilution from lower value-added activities.

Q1 2026 also marked the signing of a significant AI & HPC contract with a Romanian public institution, valued at 45.9 million RON.
One of the most complex GPU infrastructure projects implemented in the Romanian public sector to date.

The direction for 2026–2030 is set.

We are more profitable, more focused, and well positioned in a market shaped by accelerating digitalization and new European regulations - NIS2, AI Act, Cyber Resilience Act.

One of the most overlooked vulnerability in Romania:
"Looking at cyberattacks over the last year and a half, both in the public and private sector, in many cases the attack was not enabled by the lack of a tool. It was enabled by a poorly written line of code from three years ago that was never updated, never corrected." said Bogdan Florea - CEO Connections, at the News.ro / Leaders Lounge – Cybersecurity event on May 11.

What Secure by Design actually means in practice?

🟰"Secure Software Development Lifecycle is not just a technical standard. It is a shift-left approach: you start implementing security measures from the very first phases of development, not after the system is built."

The Cyber Resilience Act, entering into force in December 2027, makes explicit references to * Secure by Design * for systems and software solutions alike. Companies need to be ready.

"When building software, security means discipline from the beginning. And the cost of not doing it is not a compliance fine, it is losing your critical data because of a line of code written three years ago that nobody touched since."
