December 2nd Kyiv will host Tech Unity: Clusters Forum

On December 2, Kyiv will host Tech Unity: Clusters Forum – an event that brings together regional IT clusters, as well as representatives from the tech industry, government, education, and investors. The goal is to coordinate joint actions and decisions that will shape the sector’s development in 2026. The forum will feature eight thematic tracks, one of which will focus on dual-use.

All proceeds from ticket sales will be directed towards supporting Ukraine’s Defence Forces and developing the cluster movement in Ukraine. Defender Media is an information partner of the event. Our readers can receive a 99% discount with the promo code: DEF_ITC.

What will be discussed in the dual-use track:

• How to effectively protect the airspace over major cities
• What turns an idea into a real product faster — a grant or the frontline
• How to get from a garage prototype to a contract with the Ministry of Defence or NATO
• Why leading engineers often choose volunteering over R&D
• Whether Ukraine can become the “Israel of Europe” in defence tech
• When the state will finally become a partner, and not just a customer, in dual-use projects
