Innovation is our chance to win the world – Dpty PM Fedorov
The First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine - Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov states the need to scale the Brave1 model into the civilian sphere in the future.
"Over the past three years, Ukraine has proven: innovation is not a theory, it is our weapon, our defense and our chance to win the world," Fedorov said at an event dedicated to World Science Day on Wednesday in Kyiv.
He emphasized that from defense technologies to artificial intelligence, Ukraine is creating solutions that change the "battlefield" and transform the economy.
Fedorov recalled that today there are 1,500 Defense Tech companies operating in Ukraine, and the Brave1 cluster has united over 3,600 solutions: from drones to data analysis systems.
