As Ukraine continues to deepen cooperation with international partners in the defence sector, joint ventures have become a strategic tool for accelerating innovation and strengthening shared security. This forum will bring together government officials, global defence companies, and tech innovators to explore how joint defence production with Ukraine can be scaled — faster and smarter.

A highlight of the event will be the Fair of International Partnerships: a showcase of Ukraine’s strategic partner countries, each represented with a dedicated booth focused on advancing cooperation in drones and defence tech.

🗣 Key topics will include:

• Defence as an EU–Ukraine integration accelerator
• The role of startups vs. prime contractors in battlefield innovation
• How to scale joint production with Ukraine’s arms manufacturers
• Industrial cooperation under the SAFE initiative: Buy from Ukraine and for Ukraine

This forum demonstrates the growing global interest in Ukraine’s defence tech industry and the willingness of partners to engage in real, industrial cooperation.
