Webinar: How to enter and build partnerships at Ukrainian defence tech market?
Ukraine is the world's largest active defence-tech community.
Every week, new units, new tactics, and new technical requirements emerge from the front line — and the market that supplies them moves at a pace nothing in peacetime defence can match.
For international companies, this is both the opportunity and the obstacle: you can build a real product here in months instead of years, but only if you understand how the ecosystem works.
This session is built for foreign defence-tech companies that are serious about entering Ukraine — whether to test, partner, sell, or co-develop.
