Tech Entrepreneurs in Ukraine Battle on a Unique Front

Ukrainian startups are shifting their focus to military innovation to aid the country's out-manned and out-gunned armed forces. The shift has been driven by demand from the government, but many entrepreneurs also feel a patriotic duty to help. Innovations developed by these startups are making a difference on the battlefield, ranging from software applications that can target enemy positions more quickly to civilian drones adapted for military use, and systems that integrate data to give commanders more detailed battlefield views. The government hopes that these emerging start-ups can also underpin Ukraine's post-war economy, similar to how military technology laid the foundation for Israel's booming technology sector.
