DEMO DAY + EXPO
Nearly 80 companies showcased their products to the public and demonstrated them live at the IRON test site. Many of these technologies were presented for the first time.
Panel Discussions
Key industry stakeholders gather in one place for an open dialogue on which solutions are already proving effective on the battlefield, what the next steps are in shaping the long-term development of Ukraine’s defense industry, and how international partners can become part of this ecosystem.
Startups & Investments
Participants gain direct access to a curated community of startups presenting cutting-edge innovations in a public setting for the first time, alongside companies that have already proven their effectiveness on the battlefield and are now ready to scale. The format provides early access to breakthrough solutions, opportunities for direct engagement with founders, and insight into the technologies shaping the future of defense capabilities.
