The 2nd UK-UA Defence Tech Forum

This event is external to the APPG and is hosted by Strategy Council at RUSI.

Ukrainian and international defence tech start-ups are developing their technologies, not least in UAVs, EW tools, communication devices and robots, and their effectiveness is being proven on the frontline. What is required now is to channel investment to enable rapid scaling-up and the advancement of these technologies in order to speed up their deployment.

The Ukrainian and international defence tech VC ecosystems have mobilised and are proactively investing in the most promising technologies and innovative companies. At the same time international investment funds’ exposure to defence and aerospace is steadily rising as investors recognise the need for a strong and technologically advanced defence industrial base.

This Forum has been convened to once more bring together all key stakeholders – government, technology developers and VCs – for a timely discussion on how to channel investment without delay to where it is most needed.
