Defense Tech Valley 2025

Defense Tech Valley 2025 is Brave1’s second flagship investment summit. The event will bring together more than 5,000 experts and leaders in defense tech, military personnel, and Ukrainian and international investors — all those building the future of defense innovation not in labs but on the battlefield or for it.

Ukraine, where groundbreaking technologies are being developed and field-tested daily, is fast becoming a leading producer of security innovations for the entire free world. This summit offers a rare opportunity to invest in battlefield-proven solutions already shaping global security’s future.

As part of the summit, we’ll also hold the Battle Proven competition for defense and dual-use startups. Ukrainian developers with technologies already in use at the front, or expected to be deployed within the next year, are welcome to apply.

📍 Location: Lviv, Ukraine
📅 Date: September 16-17, 2025
