Mission & Goals
DOK-ING is a Croatian company specialised in the design and production of unmanned ground systems for high-risk environments in the fields of military engineering, humanitarian demining, critical infrastructure protection, crisis management and counterterrorism. Following a corporate reorganisation in May 2025, the security and defence-related activities were consolidated into a distinct legal entity. This registration refers exclusively to that entity. Until May 2025 the same legal entity also covered activities of the Energetics programme, which operated autonomously within the group until the reorganisation. As a result, certain entries in this registration (e.g. intermediaries and legislative files) include Energetics-related activities relevant to that period. The company holds full design authority; develops and manufactures all systems in-house; and is entirely EU-owned and EU-controlled, without any third-country ownership, control or influence.
EU Legislative Interests
EU White Paper on Defence and related EU security and defence policies. For example, in May 2025, DOK-ING participated in the European Commission’s Strategic Dialogue with the European Defence Industry, launched by President von der Leyen. This Dialogue is part of the Commission’s broader effort to strengthen the European defence industrial base. DOK-ING is active in discussions on joint procurement frameworks, innovation cycles, regulatory barriers, and supply chain resilience. DOK-ING also closely follows other relevant EU and NATO policies addressing related topics such as dual-use innovation, access to finance, and long-term capability development planning. Primary EU legislation which is of interest for DOK-ING relates to the COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2025/1106 of 27 May 2025 establishing the Security Action for Europe (SAFE) through the Reinforcement of the European Defence Industry Instrument. Energy (until corporate reorganization in May 2025): Directive regards the promotion of energy from renewable sources, Regulation establishing a Union methodology setting out detailed rules for the production of renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-biological origin, Directive on the landfill of waste, Regulation on establishing a framework of measures for strengthening Europe’s net-zero technology manufacturing ecosystem, Directive on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control), Directive concerning urban wastewater treatment, Proposal for a targeted revision of the Waste Framework Directive, Initiative for The Circular Economy Act.
Communication Activities
In May 2025, DOK-ING participated in the Strategic Dialogue with the European Defence Industry organized by the European Commission, DG DEFIS and other relevant services. In addition to this, DOK-ING regularly participates in information sessions, stakeholder events, and public consultations related to EU security and defence policies, including info-days and conferences organised by DG DEFIS, the European Defence Agency, and other relevant institutional actors.

Additional Information
Six persons are involved in activities covered by the Transparency Register, each contributing around 10% of their working time (0.6 FTE in total). These include the CEO, two board members and three business development staff. There is no dedicated EU affairs unit; instead, these individuals engage with EU policy topics on an ad-hoc basis, typically through participation in Commission dialogues, DG DEFIS stakeholder events, consultations and info days. Such engagement is usually performed in parallel with other duties (e.g. business development, travel), making it difficult to determine the exact share of time or cost attributable solely to EU activities. Until May 2025, the same legal entity also covered the Energetics programme, which explains the engagement of EuroNavigator Public Affairs as intermediary (mandate limited to hydrogen, energy and circular economy files). The declared cost bracket of €50,000–€99,999 reflects the combination of (i) the proportional share of staff salaries (approx. 0.6 FTE) and (ii) the intermediary’s fee, together with occasional travel, events and representation. Even when adding together the internal cost estimates and the actual invoices paid to EuroNavigator, the combined figure remains below €99,999.
