Skyeton CEO Roman Kniazhenko took part in a panel discussion called “From Idea to Series — and Back Again: How to Keep the Innovation Cycle Going” at the Brave1 Defense Tech Era event.
Alongside other defense industry manufacturers, Roman discussed the impact of large state contracts on innovation and how to maintain a balance between scaling production and the need for continuous improvement. The experts also exchanged views on the potential future of R&D in their companies if the war in Ukraine stops, and whether manufacturers would be able to pivot to international markets if local orders disappear. Particular attention was given to the importance of effective experience-sharing with the end users of their products.
We thank Brave1 for organizing this event. Forums like these contribute to effective idea exchange and foster the development of Ukraine’s defense technology sector.
