Can the World Copy Ukraine’s Defense Innovation Model? | Artem Moroz (BRAVE1)

<p>What happens when technology doesn’t have years to find its market, but needs to prove itself in the field now?</p><p>In this episode of <strong>Autonomous</strong>, I sit down with Artem Moroz from BRAVE1 to talk about the Ukrainian defense-tech ecosystem and the unusual relationship it has created between founders, government, investors and the people actually using the technology.</p><p>Artem’s journey into this world is just as interesting. Coming from the hospitality industry, he chose to stay in Ukraine and use his network and experience to help Ukrainian companies find capital, partners and opportunities to grow internationally.</p><p>We talk about how technology moves from an idea to the field, whether “battle-tested” is becoming an overused term, what investors still misunderstand about Ukrainian defense companies, and whether Europe and the U.S. could ever reproduce Ukraine’s speed and feedback loops without the pressure of war.</p><p>We also look further ahead: <strong>What happens to this ecosystem when the war eventually ends? Are we building great companies or great wartime solutions? And which parts of the Ukrainian model can the rest of the world actually learn from?</strong></p><p>A conversation about technology, capital, culture, resilience, and what can happen when an ecosystem becomes aligned around one very clear purpose.</p>
