Joint Future via Defence Programs. URC Side Event by TFUA x Diia.City Union

​Joint Future via Defence Programs is a URC side event organised by Tech Forces in UA and Diia.City Union in Gdańsk, Poland.

​International defence programs — SAFE, EDF, EDIP, USI, UNITE–Brave, NATO initiatives, and others — are actively drawing on Ukraine’s war-gained expertise to strengthen the defence industry across the EU and NATO.

TFUA has mapped out a navigation manual to ease the industry’s journey through these instruments and their abbreviations.

We invite you to a strategic-level discussion with representatives of NATO, the European Commission, BGK (Poland), and the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence on the future of defence cooperation between Ukraine’s frontline experience and international stakeholders.
