DIU was honored to join Ambassador Nathaniel Fick and @USAmbKyiv Bridget Brink in Kyiv this past week, spending time with our Ukrainian partners to discuss cyber, emerging tech innovation, and lessons learned from their frontlines. In addition to meeting with our Ukrainian government partners, the team had a chance to visit with a broad cross section of the brilliant and dedicated Ukrainian patriots working hard to bring the best tech to bear in the fight.   "We are proud to work closely with our partners in Ukraine, and of their leadership and ingenuity in hardware, software and digital innovation," said Doug Beck, Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) director. "We look forward to exploring future opportunities to contribute to their heroic efforts, and to learning from their hard-won experience as we in the U.S. apply commercially derived technology with the focus, speed, and scale required for strategic impact globally.”   U.S. Department of State Mykhailo Fedorov Valeriya Ionan Anton Demokhin RUSTEM UMEROV Alexander Kamyshin BRAVE1
