Unmanned systems are one of the key answers to the technological challenges of our time. They are forming the foundation for a new format of cooperation between Ukraine and the United States — from joint production to the practical deployment of solutions on the global market. This topic is the focus of the Ukrainian delegation’s side event: “Powered by Fleet of Millions: Ukrainian Breakthroughs in Drone Mass Production,” which will take place on May 21 as part of XPONENTIAL 2025. Under the banner of Fleet of Millions, DroneUA — in partnership with PPL Trade and with the support of the Consulate General of Ukraine in Houston — is organizing an event that will mark a growth point for strategic cooperation in the field of autonomous technologies. At the core of the discussion: industrialization, localization, and the effective integration of Ukrainian solutions into U.S. production processes and supply chains.

The event will bring together industry leaders, government representatives, and tech companies from both countries to discuss how Ukrainian drone technologies — developed in record numbers under challenging conditions — are entering the U.S. market, transforming approaches to both security and commercial applications, and shaping new models of international cooperation.

Event program:

  • Welcome remarks from Vitalii Tarasiuk, Consul General of Ukraine in Houston, and representatives of the U.S. Commercial Service (TBC)
  • Panel discussion: “Cost-Efficient Innovation: How Ukraine is Redefining Drone Manufacturing at Scale”, moderated by Valerii Iakovenko, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of DroneUA and Futurology
  • Networking with leaders of the unmanned ecosystem and innovation pioneers

Ukrainian companies that have built their expertise under extremely challenging technical and logistical conditions are now demonstrating their ability to scale — strengthening Ukraine’s global competitiveness. DroneUA brings Ukrainian engineering to the international stage, integrating deep R&D expertise while aligning with the specifics of the U.S. market and the country’s industrial potential.

Event Details:

  • Date: May 21, 2025
  • Time: Start: 5:00 PM | Program: 5:30–6:30 PM | Networking: 6:30–7:30 PM
  • Location: 3040 Post Oak Blvd., Houston, TX
