Technological diplomacy has taken root as a tool through which states build long-term alliances and synchronize innovation development. DroneUA’s participation in the 4th UK–Ukraine Defence Tech Forumin London is a continuation of the company’s long-term strategy to develop international partnerships that shape the future evolution of robotics and integrated technological systems.
On November 18, the forum will bring together government institutions, investment structures, and technology teams, creating a platform for discussing approaches to the development of security technologies, their scaling, and their integration into international industrial and commercial processes. At the center of attention are solutions whose effectiveness is proven in real operational conditions, because technology holds value only when it delivers results in the hands of end users.
Valerii Iakovenko, co-founder and managing partner of DroneUA and Futurology, will present the company’s role in shaping technological diplomacy and the importance of innovation in creating effective formats of international cooperation. This is an opportunity to demonstrate how technology strengthens interaction and how innovation becomes a bridge between countries that share a common vision — a safer and smarter world.
“The future belongs to robots that don’t stay in laboratories but work in the fields, in production, and in emergency zones. Commercial application is not ‘later.’ It is the ultimate goal of any breakthrough in robotics,” noted Valerii Iakovenko.
Ukraine understands well what it means to develop innovation under complex geopolitical conditions, but today a different task comes to the forefront — innovation for the sake of global leadership: scaling solutions, integrating into the ecosystems of allied nations, and proving that robotics can protect, support, and empower people around the world.
DroneUA is consistently working to ensure that technologies undergo a full cycle — from development to integration into operational processes — enabling sustainable practical application and shaping a future in which innovation functions as a tool for real-world solutions.
