First-Hand Insights into International Defence Markets

Ukraine has become one of the world’s leading hubs for defence innovation, creating new opportunities for international partnerships, investment, joint production, and integration into European defence supply chains.

Seizing these opportunities requires more than battlefield-proven technology. Defence tech founders need first-hand insights from people inside international markets who understand procurement, decision-making, stakeholder expectations, and how trusted partnerships are built.

Among the Bootcamp’s previous speakers are industry leaders from NATO, BAE Systems, CSG, leading law firms, investment funds, government organisations, and international media – including a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist.
