Mykhailo Fedorov is launching a defense technology company, with Palantir CEO Alex Karp as the first lead investor, although the investment amount has not been disclosed. Karp emphasized the potential of this venture to transform Ukraine's military experience into products for allied countries.
The specifics of the company, including its name and the technologies it will develop, remain largely undisclosed, but Fedorov indicated that the focus will be on applying lessons learned from the ongoing war with Russia, particularly in areas like drones, artificial intelligence, and battlefield software.
Fedorov, who was removed from his ministerial position in July, has been actively seeking U.S. investment and support for various defense projects, including a proposed investment fund targeting advanced military technologies. His efforts reflect a broader strategy to capitalize on Ukraine's unique wartime experiences to enhance defense capabilities both domestically and for allies
