Defence Tech keeps getting traction in Ukraine through Defence Valley conference. 👍🔰
🔥 Brave1 — rapid delivery of technology to the battlefield and investment opportunities At the international investment summit Defense Tech Valley, Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation, Education, Science and Technology Development - Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, Mykhailo Fedorov, emphasized the importance of developing innovations in defense technologies and the role of the Brave1 cluster in this process. Brave1 has become a true fast track for innovations, ensuring the rapid delivery of cutting-edge technologies directly to the battlefield. 💬 "This is a unique war. In terms of destruction scale and technology usage. Over nearly three years, we've seen that it is possible to fight and gain an advantage through accessible and easily scalable technologies created by Ukrainian innovators," highlighted Mykhailo Fedorov. He noted that thanks to Brave1, Ukrainian defense companies have the opportunity to develop and overcome the so-called "innovation death valley," where many promising projects fail due to a lack of resources. Brave1 offers investors the assurance that the products are reliable, tested in real combat conditions, and have the potential for scaling. The Brave1 platform has already registered over 2,800 developments and issued grants totaling more than $8 million to support projects that assist Ukraine on the battlefield. The cluster works with Ukrainian manufacturers, helping them at all stages of solution development — from idea to codification according to NATO standards. It also matches developers with other innovators from Ukraine and partner countries, provides grant support, and assists in attracting investments. 🤝🏼 Collaboration with Brave1 is an investment in creating effective asymmetric responses to the quantitative advantage of the enemy.
