Defence Tech Innovation Forum 2025: Ukraine – A Global Center of Military Expertise
The event served as a major platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration among military professionals, developers, and investors working on cutting-edge defense technologies. It is one of the most prominent events for Ukraine’s defense industry, bringing together more than 3,000 participants from nearly 40 countries. Attendees included representatives from the United States, Canada, South Africa, Israel, Turkey, Australia, New Zealand, and the majority of European nations. We sincerely thank the Brave1 team for the opportunity to participate in such a large-scale event that brought together key players in the defense sector and served as an excellent foundation for fostering new partnerships and sharing innovative ideas.
The DRONESQUAD team took part in the Defence Tech Innovation Forum 2025, which was held on February 18–19, 2025, in Kyiv.
The first day of the forum was focused on international partners and investors, giving us the opportunity to present our products — particularly the Fury drone — discuss potential collaborations with foreign companies, and receive valuable feedback from leading defense experts. Showcasing our technology increased interest in our equipment, which has already proven its effectiveness in combat operations. The technical discussions helped strengthen international connections and revealed new opportunities for cooperation.
The second day of the forum provided a platform for direct engagement with military personnel and representatives of defense institutions. This was an opportunity not only for in-person meetings, but also for discussing real frontline needs. Conversations with service members helped us better understand the operational requirements for unmanned systems, identify new priorities for improving our drones, and gather crucial feedback regarding their performance in active combat. It also enabled us to establish connections with Ukrainian developers, contractors, and other defense stakeholders with whom we plan to expand collaboration.
During the forum, we actively engaged with numerous visitors, allowing us to discover new partnerships, align on shared interests, and exchange innovative ideas. These interactions not only enhanced our potential for international cooperation but also contributed to the development of new technologies critical to strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities.
The Defence Tech Innovation Forum 2025 marked an important milestone in the growth of Ukraine’s defense industry. It also opened new horizons for innovation that supports national security and strengthens our position on the global stage. We are proud to have presented the DRONESQUAD Fury PRO as a result of our team’s dedication and drive for innovation — a system capable of reshaping modern warfare. Through joint efforts, we are reinforcing Ukraine’s defense and contributing to global security.
