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 defense can match.
For international companies, this is both an opportunity and an obstacle: you can build a real product in months rather than years, but only if you understand how the ecosystem works.
This session is built for foreign defense-tech companies that are serious about entering Ukraine — whether to test, partner, sell, or co-develop.
Speakers
Andrii Makhnyk, IRON Global (UA), international arm of Ukrainian defence-tech cluster IRON.
“What is IRON Global and how does it support its international members?”
Hanno Jarvet, CAFA Tech (EE), a robotics company from Estonia, and a member of IRON Global.
