With extensive experience in drone combat, Ukraine is already supplying technologies to the U.S. military and positioning itself as a trusted alternative to industry-leading Chinese producers.
Representatives are using CES 2025 to connect with investors and global tech leaders, aiming to expand their reach and influence.
"Our objective and our task is to bring Ukrainian innovations to a global stage," said Valerii Lakovenko, founder of DroneUA.

Some of the big drones Ukraine has developed for dropping bombs on Russians can also be used for commercial functions as well. And because China is the leading producer of drones, and Western countries are suspicious of their intentions with the technology, Ukrainian companies are hoping to supplant Chinese ones as the go-to source for components and hardware for military purposes, as well as civilian use.
