The Czech-Ukrainian Chamber of Industry & Commerce recently held an online meeting with Lola from Invest in Bravery to discuss the upcoming Kyiv Defence Tech Week and the Invest in Bravery Summit.
The exchange focused on how the Chamber can help bring more Czech dual-use and defence-related producers to Ukraine and support stronger links between Czech companies and Ukraine’s rapidly developing defence innovation ecosystem. A key part of the discussion was how to create practical bridges between Czech technologies, Ukrainian demand, investors, and local partners.
The Invest in Bravery Summit will take place in Kyiv on 30 April 2026 as a flagship event of Kyiv Defence Tech Week, scheduled for 28 April to 3 May 2026. The summit is designed as a highly selective, investor-focused platform with direct access to Ukraine’s top defence and dual-use startups, while Kyiv Defence Tech Week offers a broader multi-day programme including investor engagements, a hackathon, field testing, tactical training, and closed thematic events.
Participants can expect startup pitches, expert talks and workshops on defence investment, technology, and Western integration, as well as direct interaction with founders, investors, industry representatives, policymakers, and the military. Attendance is limited to maintain a high-impact format.
For the Chamber, this meeting was another important step in identifying how to support Czech companies with dual-use capabilities in entering the Ukrainian market, building partnerships, and becoming part of a trusted international network around security, resilience, and innovation. The Chamber sees clear potential to help connect Czech producers with relevant Ukrainian stakeholders and contribute to deeper Czech-Ukrainian cooperation in defence and dual-use industries.
