Ukraine: Armed Conflict
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking with Cabinet colleagues to facilitate knowledge transfer from Ukraine’s battlefield innovation experience to UK-based defence SMEs.
- Answer
-
Since 2024 the MOD has run seven defence trade missions to Ukraine in conjunction with the Trade Association ADS. These have facilitated engagement for UK business of all sizes, but with a particular focus on SMEs, with Ukrainian industry and government. We will continue our support for business and create an enduring presence for UK industry in Kyiv through the establishment of a UK Business Centre, while working to develop capabilities alongside the Ukrainian defence ecosystem.
