Brave Inventors is a Ukrainian non-profit acceleration platform for innovation in the field of defense tech.
Vaughn helps winemakers develop defense technologies: from prototyping and beta testing to getting investment and entering global markets.
And again, the platform brings together teams of developers, investors and partners, ensuring technological development for Ukraine. This group invested its profits and financed Ukrainian producers to identify the main trends and prospects for producers.
Trends in the Ukrainian miltech sector
The experience of the Brave Inventors teams has been a vision of this fate. This gave us the opportunity to engage in real-life blogging, drink and drink Ukrainian wines, and adapt the platform development strategy to respond to real issues. Main axis results:
Who is behind the robberies?
The majority of Ukrainian producers are from 36 to 45 people (44.4%) and 26-35 people (33.3%). The largest number of representatives is in the civil manufacturing sector – 38.9%, as well as in the IT and logistics sector. This is a testament to the multidisciplinary nature of the teams and the willingness to seek evidence from different issues.
What do winemakers focus on?
The field of developments in the Ukrainian milktech market today looks like this:
● Close to 50% of teams work on drones and unmanned systems – this is a key development focus.
● 22.2% savings on transportation solutions.
● Teams are engaged in REB, mining, software security and more.
The fluidity that attacks
Ukrainian milktek developers show incredible flexibility. 83.3% of teams pass the idea route before testing in less than a day. And 61.1% of the buildings produce the product within a month.
What does growth mean?
Major wikis include:
● Personnel defects – 19.03%.
● Lack of finances – 16.7%.
● Problems with armored vehicles – 14.3%.
At the same time, 44.4% of teams indicated that they need more than 100-500 thousand USD to move to the offensive stage of development.
Regardless of price, 100% of respondents continue to finance their projects from government funds. Among the additional measures are government grants and support for investors (33.3% each).
Why Winemakers Rob Brave Inventors
Participants identified several key aspects of the platform that make it indispensable for Miltec teams. Among them:
● Networking and partnerships that open up new opportunities for cooperation.
● Marketing and PR support that helps publicize your skills.
● Access to advisors and investors, allowing you to scale projects to later stages of development.
Brave Inventors supports Ukrainian milktech teams that create innovations to ensure the efficiency of military operations. The technological solutions, developed by the teams, help to meet the main challenges for the defense sector, driving its effectiveness and flexibility in today’s mind.
Also Brave Inventors in 2024:
● We encouraged innovations: more than 150 direct requests for the purchase of Ukrainian-made radios from military units, foundations and volunteer initiatives.
● Invested: a successful round of financing for military buggy manufacturers, negotiations with an international venture fund and organization of a series of “investor-producer” negotiations.
● Donations: more than 350 thousand hryvnias were donated for the needs of the army – the purchase of drones and communications was arranged.
● Organized: organization of testing at the “Zalizny testing ground”, which became the starting point for the codification of many developments.
● Took part in global shows and international exhibitions: presentation of the platform and the first investment catalog Brave inventors at one of the largest light expo of unmanned systems UMEX-2024 in Abu Dhabi, participation in the discussion panels dedicated to investments in the Carpathian Sea Democracy Week,
Brave Inventors organized requests for teams on the following topics:
● IDEX-2025 (UAE, Spetstekhnoeksport),
● EUROSATORY (France, Spetstechnoexport),
● DRONETECH 2024 (Poland, EEN),
● INVESTMAN EXPO (Ukraine),
● CES 2025 (USA, DroneUA),
● Commercial UAV Expo 2024 (USA, DroneUA).
It will give Ukrainian retailers the opportunity to show their innovations, get new partners and open new horizons for innovation.
The platform not only provides technological supplies, but also provides access to contacts, investors and markets. Another robot, Brave Inventors, showed concrete results: the platform has become an active community that brings together developers, investors and partners for the development of Ukrainian milktech solutions. Brave Inventors helps teams at the initial stage – from creating prototypes to getting funding and entering the market. In addition, the platform acts as a place of mutual interaction, where volunteers, military funds and foundations find the necessary technological solutions for the front.
Support Ukrainian winemakers, invest in innovation and be part of the changes that will bring us closer to success.
