About the Event
An invitation-only UK–Ukraine Defence Tech Investors and Founders Meeting, hosted by Diia.City United and Heidrick & Struggles.
The evening reception follows a closed-door roundtable discussion held earlier that afternoon. The evening will bring together senior leaders across defence, technology, and investment for an informal drinks reception and networking discussion.
The central question driving the dialogue: How can we scale Ukraine’s defence and dual-use innovation within the UK and broader European ecosystem?
The discussion reflects a clear strategic shift already underway across Europe — moving from simply supporting Ukraine toward integrating Ukrainian capabilities into the long-term security and industrial architecture of the UK and Europe.
The reception will also provide an opportunity to facilitate practical connections between Ukrainian CEOs and founders and potential partners, investors and industry stakeholders.
