SUMMARY:Defence Day at URC 2026 in Gdańsk
DESCRIPTION:USUBC — together with Defence Builder\, Ukraine’s integrated defense tech ecosystem; General Cherry\, a prominent Ukrainian defense tech company\, Ukrainian Council of Defense Industry\, a leading association representing Ukraine’s defense manufacturers and industry stakeholders\, KSE Institute\, one of Ukraine’s leading economic research institutions — and with the support of partners Fluet\, Raytheon\, and Ukrainian Armor – will host Defence Day on 25 June 2026 in Gdańsk\, Poland. \nDefence Day is a side event at URC 2026 that frames the development of Ukraine’s defense industrial base and defense technology sectors as both an economic growth priority and a security imperative for Ukraine and its allies. It brings Ukrainian DIB and defense tech companies together with investors\, government officials\, and industry partners interested in co-production\, technology transfer\, and long-term integration of Ukrainian capabilities into allied defense supply chains. The focus of Defence Day is practical: joint venture structures that are already working\, investment pipelines and other investment and cooperation vehicles with real deal flow\, and the legal and export frameworks needed to scale Ukrainian defense tech internationally. \nThe programme is structured in two parts. Part I is a UAV industry showcase and strategic discussion dedicated to joint ventures\, investment access\, and the operational realities of scaling Ukrainian defense tech. Part II is devoted to the broader defense industrial base — increasing Ukraine’s technical and production capabilities\, sustainment\, and long-term international cooperation frameworks. \nThe programme includes panel discussions\, a fireside chat\, a presentation of exclusive research on Ukraine’s UAV sector\, followed by the Networking\Reception. \nWhy this matters. Global military expenditure hit $2.7 trillion in 2024 — a post-Cold War record. NATO’s new 5% GDP target implies over $1.5 trillion in additional annual spending. Ukraine’s defense tech sector is valued at $6.8 billion in 2025 (Defence Builder / KSE Institute / Brave1)\, with $6.3 billion in UAV production alone (+137% YoY)\, UGV growth of 6× to $252M\, and EW systems up 3.4× to $220M. The 10-year recovery and defense potential is estimated at $690 billion. This is a market producing at scale that now needs the structures to integrate into allied supply chains. \n  \nProgram:\n3:00 – 3:30 PM \nRegistration & Welcome Drinks\n \n  \n3:30 – 3:45 PM \nWelcoming Remarks: \nIrina Paliashvili\, President & CEO\, U.S.-Ukraine Business Council (USUBC) \n​ \n3:45 – 4:30 PM\n \nPanel One: Ukraine’s Defence Tech: Growth\, Capital\, and Partnership Opportunities \nModerator:\nDaria Yaniieva\, President\, Defence Builder \nSpeakers:\nValery Krasovsky\, CEO Sigma Software Group\, Board Member Defence Builder\nDanyil Vakhovskyi\, Executive Director\, General Cherry\nBrian Best\, Managing Director\, Dragon Capital\nValentyna Sakhno\, Head of Business School\, Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) \n​ \n4:30 – 5:00 PM\n \nPanel Two: Iteration to Institution: The Next Phase of Ukrainian Defence Tech \nAn in-depth look at one of Ukraine’s most prominent defence tech companies: from early-stage product to international recognition\, scaling under wartime conditions\, building partnerships\, and navigating the path from tactical innovation to strategic industry player. \nModerator:\nDaria Yaniieva\, President\, Defence Builder \nSpeakers:\nDanyil Vakhovskyi\, Executive Director\, General Cherry\nJeff Rodrian\, Executive Vice President\, MacCready Works\, AV (Aerovironment)\nViktoriia Honcharuk\, Director\, AV3.Tech \n  \n5:00 – 6:00 PM\n \nPanel Three: Opportunities for International Cooperation in Defense Industrial Base: Co-Production\, Export\, Sustainment  \nModerator:\nIrina Paliashvili\, President & CEO\, U.S.-Ukraine Business Council (USUBC) \nSpeakers:\nMykhailo Diachenko\, Chief Business Development Officer\, TAF Industries\nRoksolana Svynchuk\, Deputy CEO\, Ukrainian Council of Defence Industry (UCDI)\nPhil Fickes\, Director\, Bell Textron Ukraine\nYurii Katsion\, CEO and Chairman of the Management Board of Oschadbank\nPiotr Marczuk\, Senior Sales Director\, Defense and Space CEE\, Honeywell Aerospace\nMichael Murray\, Account Executive\,
