Post | Strengthening Europe’s digital backbone beneath the surface.
MacArtney was honoured to welcome Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice‑President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy in the European Commission, to our headquarters.
On a tour led by our Bjarke Ovesen, Sales Director – Naval, we explored how MacArtney’s underwater technology supports Critical Underwater Infrastructure (CUI).
This visit underscores the strategic importance of Europe’s subsea networks. Strengthening CUI is essential for technological sovereignty, so operators, researchers and authorities can rely on secure connectivity, resilient operations and trusted data in harsh marine environments.

Why is this important?
Reliable subsea infrastructure supports Europe’s digital future, safeguarding data flows, bolstering energy security, and building confidence in essential services that keep industries and communities connected.
In a shifting security landscape, we are proud to keep developing the technologies and partnerships that reinforce Europe’s subsea infrastructure.
