Sigma Software Labs will participate in the UK-Ukraine Defence Tech Forum on the 8th of November at the Royal United Services Institute, London. The Forum will bring together over 250 key players in the defence and investment sectors, including venture capitalists, government officials and leading technology innovators from Ukraine and the UK. The event is one of the key platforms for discussing defence innovation in the region, fostering partnerships and scaling new technologies to meet the challenges of modern warfare.
Our expertise in defence innovation
As the corporate VC of Sigma Software, Sigma Software Labs supports defence startups through Defence Builder accelerator. This accelerator connects Ukrainian startups with investors, provides feedback loops, and prepares them to scale production. With Daria Yaniieva, Investment Director at Sigma Software Labs and Board Member at Defence Builder, we focus on the need for startups to match their solutions with real-time military needs. The first 4-month course of Defence Builder accelerator has delivered impressive results. Six teams tested their products on military training grounds, and three teams went on to deploy in combat zones. This success emphasizes our commitment to innovations that protect our nation and drive the growth of the domestic industrial base.
