Wie der Krieg zwischen der Ukraine und Russland den Technologiesektor in Osteuropa verändert

The Ukraine-Russia war has completely upended the traditional development of defense tech in Europe. 

Ukraine’s resistance has been a miracle of social resilience and innovation—and the way the country has mobilized is serving both a warning and an inspiration to its neighbors. It’s created a mix of market demand and existential threat that’s pushing tech startups in nearby Latvia and other Baltic states into a significant pivot. 

Now companies that can find military uses for their products are hardening them—and discovering ways to move around traditional processes to get gear to the front line. It’s a turn that may only become more urgent if incoming US President Donald Trump becomes less willing to underwrite the continent’s defense.
