Brave1, Ukraine’s defence tech cluster, and Rakuten Group, a leading Japanese technology company, have launched a strategic partnership to support Ukrainian defence technology producers.
The first step in this cooperation was the participation of a Ukrainian delegation in DSEI Japan, the country’s largest defence technology exhibition, held on May 21–23. At the exhibition, Ukrainian companies presented cutting-edge defence technologies, with Rakuten committing to support their entry into the Japanese market.
The partnership is expected to strengthen the global reach of Ukrainian defence firms and open access to Japanese government agencies, research institutions, defence contractors, and potential investors.
