Ukraine and NATO have updated their cooperation format in innovation.

During a meeting in Brussels, Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation Mykhailo Fedorov and NATO Deputy Secretary General David van Weel launched the High-Level Innovation Dialogue between Ukraine and NATO.

It is noted that during the full-scale war, the world discovered Ukraine to be a technological and innovative state and it has become an ideal platform for testing and developing the latest defense-tech solutions. As a result, NATO is interested in cooperation with Ukraine and is already considering opportunities to support Ukrainian military products. In particular, NATO is interested in the development of the defense tech cluster Brave1.

The Ministry of Information and Communications and NATO will begin work in two directions: NATO’s expert support for Ukrainian dual-purpose solutions and finding ways to finance Ukrainian innovation that will benefit Ukraine and the Alliance.
