A business delegation consisting of nearly 30 Estonian defense industry companies visited Ukraine last week, where alongside various meetings and seminars, they also held a joint product exhibition and demonstration at a testing ground. Present were developers of drones, unmanned vehicles, and intelligence software systems, as well as representatives from law firms and logistics companies focused on the defense sector. About ten of these companies are actively operating in Ukraine.
According to Estonian Defense and Space Industry Association leader Kalev Koidumäe, the purpose of the visit was to find new contacts, markets, and opportunities for Estonian companies. “Ukraine is currently the place where our sector’s products are doing their work. Our engineers’ products and systems are being baptized by fire here, enabling us to create solutions that actually work in modern warfare.”
The visit took place in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Defense, the Estonian Embassy in Ukraine, and the Estonian Defense and Space Industry Association.
The Estonian business delegation included: Vegvisir, Jetflite, Front42 OU, Marduk Technologies, Meridein Grupp OÜ, Milrem Robotics, Threod Systems, SensusQ, Defendec Ltd, triniti, Atalanta Systems, Lendurai, CybExer Technologies, Milmech Systems, 5.0 Robotics, KrattWorks, Englo, Strobil, Falconers, DefSecIntel Solutions, Sorainen, CAFA Tech OÜ, Baltic Workboats, ASAX Innovation, Telearmy, and Frankenburg Technologies.
