On May 22, 2025, a dedicated event on the development of Ukrainian DefenseTech startups took place in Tallinn. The event was organized with the support of the Embassy of Ukraine in the Republic of Estonia, the international tech conference Latitude59, and the Ukrainian Tech Ecosystem initiative.

The aim of the event was to connect Ukrainian defense technology teams with key stakeholders — including venture capital funds, accelerators, business support organizations, and international initiatives. Participants engaged in a series of dynamic and practical discussions on how to enhance support for Ukrainian DefenseTech solutions at the international level.

The program featured three focused panel discussions, moderated by founders of Ukrainian DefenseTech startups:
