Europe doesn't lack innovation. It lacks the pathways that turn battlefield-proven technology into industrial capacity at scale. This event is designed to build those pathways.
We're bringing together drone manufacturers, component suppliers, industrial companies, government representatives, and investors from the UK, Ukraine, and across Europe to establish production partnerships and joint ventures that can rapidly scale defense manufacturing.
Co-organized by the European Defense Tech Hub (EDTH) and IPOL GmbH, this event is where these worlds meet.

Together, we will explore one central question:
How do industry, defense companies, and private capital form the partnerships needed to produce what NATO requires?
The focus is practical.
We will discuss partnership structures, financing mechanisms, UK-European-Ukrainian industrial cooperation, and how battlefield-proven systems can navigate NATO procurement processes.
We will also examine production opportunities across the UK, Europe and Ukraine, supported by export credit guarantees, investment protections, and emerging public funding instruments.
The event is designed for CEOs and COOs of industrial manufacturers, founders and executives of defense companies, investors active in defense and dual-use technologies, and policymakers shaping Europe's industrial response to a changing security environment.
This conversation builds on the success of the Build with Ukraine Forum, first held during Berlin Defense Tech Week 2026: https://luma.com/build-with-ukraine-2026
EDTH Defense Tech Days, London 2026
The EDTH Defense Tech Days on October 1–8 will bring together engineers, founders, investors, government, and military from the UK, Ukraine, and across Europe for a series of events throughout the city.
Come meet the people building and buying the next generation of defense tech. Eight days, one city, enough density to spark real collaboration, fast feedback loops, and partnerships that last well beyond any one event.
