Brave1 opened the opportunity for international defense tech companies to test their technologies in Ukraine.
During the LANDEURO conference by AUSA (Association of the United States Army), which took place over two days in Wiesbaden, Germany, the Brave1 cluster launched the Test in Ukraine platform to provide international companies with the opportunity to test their technologies in Ukraine on a real battlefield.
"Over 2,000 American military personnel and military organizations gathered in Wiesbaden, interested in exchanging experience in transforming war and developing innovations. Ukraine is in the spotlight. We have experience in real-time technological warfare that no other country in the democratic world has," said the head of the Ministry of Digital Affairs, Mykhailo Fedorov.

“We invite defense manufacturers to co-create the future of war with Ukraine — accelerating development, production, deliveries, and access to new markets,” the platform says.
The Test in Ukraine platform offers:
End-user expertise: companies will be able to work directly with combat-proven military units to refine their product based on real-world battlefield experience;
a fully equipped testing ground , which provides the opportunity to test solutions in conditions close to combat;
Quality feedback and protocols: companies receive structured feedback and data from the front line to improve and validate your technologies;
connection with Ukrainian manufacturers: you can contact proven local partners for joint production and faster deployment.
This way, foreign companies or governments will be able to create precise solutions for real-world war challenges, instantly receive feedback from the military, and improve products based on combat experience.
The Ministry of Digital Affairs will lay off 200 employees, and Brave1 will hire 300 military personnel: the department is preparing a large-scale reorganization
