These private and state-owned enterprises represented various areas of the defense industry. Some of them already have partnership agreements or are already in the process of implementing them.

So, the conference allowed them to strengthen their ties and deepen their cooperation.

More than 150 business meetings between business representatives were held during the event.

Welcoming the participants of the event, Minister for Strategic Industries Herman Smetanin emphasized that Ukraine considers each of the represented countries a long-term and promising partner in the defense industry.

It should be noted that the United Kingdom is allocating a new package of defense assistance to Ukraine. This package will include tanks, artillery, missiles, and other types of weapons, as well as contracts for the maintenance of previously delivered equipment.
