Stands worth thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars. Large halls with an audience almost like during concerts. Speakers from the Ukrainian miltech sector as «stars». Vivid field tests of new equipment samples, no less vivid photos and videos on social networks. Miltech events have been really big in recent years, as the industry itself has become. As sensitive as this topic is in terms of security, marketing here, as in any other business, has been the main driver. However, on July 24, something happened that put events in the miltech sector on hold — Russian missiles attacked participants in a defense event near Kyiv, killing more than 10 people and injuring about 100.

Ukraine already has what many countries are only planning to build — a working digital state, which millions of people use every day. According to official data, the «Diya» application has over 20 million users and unites dozens of government services — from digital documents to starting a business. The Prozorro system has become one of the most famous examples of digitalization of public procurement in the world and is used as a model of transparency at the international level. The open data ecosystem has given impetus to hundreds of services — from checking counterparties to market analytics. And it is important that we are not talking about pilots or concepts. This is already an infrastructure that works under real load, is scalable and solves the daily tasks of citizens and businesses.
