Ukraine is no longer just a battlefield — it is becoming the world’s fastest-growing defense innovation lab. New technologies are being forged and tested under real combat conditions, creating a unique environment where startups turn into globally relevant companies at record speed. This panel will uncover why the next generation of defense and dual-use unicorns may be born in Ukraine, and why waiting means missing out. The discussion will cut through the hype and focus on real opportunities, risks, and returns. It’s not about “if” to invest in Ukraine’s defense tech — it’s about “how fast” you can get in.
