“Ukraine has already become a global hub for defense technologies. The fact that Defense Tech Valley 2025 was attended by over 1,500 international guests from 50+ countries only confirms this. Everyone is looking to Ukrainian technologies for answers on how to respond to modern security challenges, as well as for investment opportunities in solutions already tested on the battlefield,” — said Mykhailo Fedorov, First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.

The event hosted the largest defense technology exhibition in the history of independent Ukraine, featuring more than 230 Ukrainian and international manufacturers. They presented innovations already proven on the battlefield as well as new solutions, including:

• laser systems,

• drone interceptors,

• AI-powered UAVs,

• aerostats,

• ground robotic systems and turrets (including for shooting down Shahed drones),

“Defense Tech Valley became a unique event for defense technology manufacturers. Here, they were able to meet with over 1,000 military personnel ready to share front-line requests and provide valuable feedback, as well as with more than 300 international investors prepared to support R&D and scaling,” — noted Andriy Hrytseniuk, Head of the Brave1 cluster.
