Last week in London, Olexandra Govorukha, ITU Ambassador in Great Britain and a Head of Global Affairs в Sigma Software Group, took part in a UK-UA Defence Tech Forum.
The topics of discussion were defense technologies, investments and strategic partnerships, support for Ukrainian defense startups, innovation, flexibility and smart technologies.
The event brought together all key stakeholders — government, technology developers, and venture capitalists – for a timely discussion on how to channel investment to where it is needed most without delay.
At the Defence Tech Forum in London, I spoke about UK–Ukraine cooperation in building global resilience and security. The war in Ukraine has shown that innovation, agility, and smart tech can be stronger than the actual size of the aggressor. Supporting Ukrainian defence startups is not just about helping a country under attack – it’s about strengthening global security infrastructure,
– Olexandra Govorukha mentioned in her post.
The Ukrainian and international venture ecosystems in defence technology have mobilised and are actively investing in the most promising technologies and innovative companies. Simultaneously, the exposure of international investment funds in the defence and aerospace sectors is steadily increasing, as investors recognise the necessity of a strong and technologically advanced defence industrial base.
