As Ukraine swiftly develops its defence and dual-use technology sector amidst a full-scale war, new avenues for international cooperation, field testing, and joint development are surfacing.

Business Finland has commissioned a study titled "Piloting Finnish Defence or Dual-Use Innovations in Ukraine". This webinar showcases the findings of the study, which provides insights for Finnish startups and SMEs looking to explore opportunities within Ukraine’s defence innovation ecosystem.

This webinar will also guide attendees through the Ukrainian defence tech landscape, spotlight actionable piloting routes, and clarify how Finnish companies can collaborate with Ukrainian public institutions, private developers, and innovation platforms such as Brave1.

The study is presented by Sergii Malynovskyi, FinKon CAA, and the webinar is moderated by Jyrki Härkki, Business Finland.

Who should attend

  • Finnish defence and dual-use tech startups and SMEs
  • Innovation agencies and industry associations
  • R&D stakeholders interested in co-development with Ukraine
