Partner Michael Lukashenko spoke at Defense Tech Insights, an event focused on the development of Diia.City, the Brave1 initiative, and opportunities to strengthen collaboration between the state and business in the defense technology sector.
Michael shared his perspective on how the Diia.City and Defense City frameworks complement each other, highlighting their key advantages, risks, and areas of overlap. He also spoke about the specifics of how defense companies operate within Diia.City and outlined how this regime can streamline investment structuring for companies operating in the defense sector.
During the event, leading industry experts discussed key factors shaping the new miltech landscape in Ukraine: the role of the Ministry of Digital Transformation as the industry’s main driver, the expansion of Diia.City to cover UAVs, investment incentives, and support for startups. The discussion focused particularly on cooperation models with Brave1, accelerating the time to market for new developments, and creating conditions for sustainable growth of innovative companies.
The event, organized by Diia.City United, Brave1, and the Ministry of Digital Transformation, once again demonstrated that the future of defense technology depends on partnership, knowledge sharing, and joint action. At Aequo, we believe it is crucial to support such initiatives, as they strengthen the country’s defense capabilities and open new opportunities for technological progress.
