ALL ABOUT UKRAINIAN DEFENCE TECH: AIN’s handbook

The team of the Ukrainian top online media outlet AIN.UA has created a database of investors and developers of military technologies – the Desktop Book Defence Tech.

The Defence Tech project plans to connect companies with engineers and highlight the needs of the military.

 This is a large database of companies and a series of materials about them, as well as additional materials about the Defence Tech market in Ukraine. The peculiarity of this project is that it will be the first large database of companies working in this area, there will be an investor database, as well as extensive analytical materials, interviews and reports that will tell more about military developments. We will also be adding conversations with the military to better understand the needs of the military. We decided to launch this project because the Defence Tech market is becoming one of the most popular and important areas for both investors and the military. In addition, the issue of human shortages has been acute for the last year – one of the solutions to this problem is the robotisation of war, and it is also one of the drivers of the Ukrainian economy’s recovery.

The handbook will include such developments as modules for remote fire and AI platforms for analysing russian IPSOs, armoured blankets, AI navigators for drones, and others.

AIN.UA notes that the database will be constantly updated. To be included in the register, developers must fill out the form. Currently, the website already features more than 30 startups.
