Built Under Fire. Ukraine’s Defense Tech Founders in San Francisco
A networking evening with Ukrainian mil-tech founders currently visiting California for their Stanford program, a panel & defense NGO presentation at C-Ukraine, San Francisco.
Ukraine is the world's most advanced defense technology laboratory. Every week, new systems are built, tested, and deployed in real combat, at a pace no Western program can match.
This evening, four Ukrainian defense tech founders are coming to San Francisco for a candid conversation about what they're building, what's working on the battlefield, and what the West still doesn't understand about the future of warfare.
Panelists:
Nazar Bigun, NORDA Dynamics
Bohdan Sas, Buntar Aerospace
Tonia Zakorchemna, PaiDefence
Victor Shapovalov, Zmiyar
Moderated by Iryna Zhluktenko, co-founder of Dzyga's Paw
