Technical Leadership in Defence
2025
Ukraine
Today, the Defence Tech market in Ukraine is growing rapidly. More than 1,500 companies are already working on developing defence technologies.
This is not just a new trend — it's evidence of powerful innovation potential capable of changing the course of the war and elevating Ukraine to a global technological level.
A new generation of technological leaders is forming in the country, creating unique solutions for state defence. Every year, dozens of new projects and startups emerge — from drone developers and communication systems to innovative reconnaissance technologies that genuinely help on the frontlines.
Prominent examples include HIMERA, a developer of secure communication systems for the defence forces, and Frontline Robotics, which creates drones for the Armed Forces. Their solutions are already used on the front line and attract attention not only in Ukraine but also abroad.
Ukrainian Defence Tech has all the prerequisites to become a global leader in defenсe technologies. And this is no longer the future — it's a reality being created by engineers, entrepreneurs, and visionaries right now.
