Oleksandr Bornyakov heads the Brave1 supervisory board: developing Ukrainian defense technologies
Former Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation Oleksandr Bornyakov has become the head of the Brave1 cluster's supervisory board. This is a state platform that brings together developers, investors, and the military to create modern technologies for the defense of Ukraine.
In his new role, Bornyakov will focus on supporting Ukrainian manufacturers of weapons and equipment. One of the key tasks is attracting foreign investment into the Defense Tech sector. This will help Ukrainian startups scale production more quickly and supply necessary equipment to the front lines.
In addition to funding, an important area of work will be the development of domestic component production, particularly microchips. According to Bornyakov, technological independence is critically important for Ukraine in the context of a prolonged war. Domestic developments will allow for reduced dependence on imported parts and increase the efficiency of Ukrainian drones and communication systems.
the Brave1 platform continues to work actively to ensure that Ukrainian innovations become more accessible to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. By simplifying bureaucratic procedures, developers can move more quickly from an idea to a finished product that can be used in combat conditions.
The development of defense technologies remains one of the state's top priorities. It is expected that Oleksandr Bornyakov's experience will help strengthen cooperation between the government, business, and international partners to bolster Ukraine's defense capabilities.
