Inside Ukraine’s drone industry: opportunities and challenges for Western partners
The role and capabilities of uncrewed systems are evolving rapidly. KI Insights invites you to an exclusive off-the-record briefing on the latest technologies, tactics, and trends shaping the drone war — and the emerging opportunities for international partners and investors in this fast-growing sector.
Drawing on sources ranging from the trenches of Donbas to the Presidential Office, we will examine how tactical and strategic drone operations are redefining both the battlefield and the defense-tech landscape.
This briefing features insights from the newly launched Ukrainian defense tech catalogue — a first-of-its-kind publication co-produced by KI Insights and Tech Force in UA. It will be led by KI Insights Director Jakub Parusinski, and Analyst Mykolaj Suchy. The presentation will offer a comprehensive overview of current developments in technology, production capacity, internal politics, and the critical role of Western support.
