We’re excited to deepen our cooperation with Diia.City United – a community that brings together those rebuilding and advancing Ukraine, said Anna Babych, Managing Partner at Aequo.
In the defense tech industry, it is critical not only to have technological expertise but also sound legal support. That’s why our partnership with Diia.City United is strategic – it brings us closer to the companies shaping Ukraine’s new defense economy. These startups are becoming magnets for international investors, and our job is to help them grow and scale with the right legal foundation, noted Mykhailo Lukashenko, Aequo Partner and Head of the firm’s Defense, Security, and Aerospace Industry Group
Diia.City United now brings together over 130 member companies – from global tech leaders to early-stage startups. We are building a trusted community where businesses, lawyers, experts, and government stakeholders collaborate to shape digital policy, drive legal reforms, and support Ukraine’s tech transformation.
The strength of Diia.City United lies in collective action. Our goal is to create a space from which Ukrainian tech businesses can scale globally.

This collaboration empowers Ukrainian tech businesses grow with greater confidence and speed, and reach the global stage, – said Nataliya Mykolska, Executive Director of Diia.City United.
This partnership is another step toward a shared goal: building a strong, innovative, and law-driven Ukraine.
