Recently, Skyeton joined the first-ever IRON Forge Bootcamp — a three-day bootcamp for defense startups organized by IRON Cluster, a Ukrainian defense tech cluster.
Out of 45 applications, 19 teams were selected to participate. Over three days, they worked with defense industry experts and investors, refined their products, structured their business models, and prepared to present at pitch day.
In the final session, startups showcased solutions across multiple areas — from unmanned systems and electronic warfare to ground robotics, combat modules, software, and critical components.
Following the jury’s vote, Coalas Tech took first place with its resilient radio communication solution for strike missions, monitoring, and patrol operations. Second place went to Hootronics for its precision initiation system for combat modules, and third to Synychka, which develops a unified navigation module designed for maximum accuracy.
These results reflect strong engineering potential within Ukraine and the importance of consistent, structured work to advance the defense sector.
For our team, it was valuable to contribute to this initiative and be part of a community strengthening Ukraine’s defense capability.
We thank the IRON Cluster team, partners, and participants for the collaboration and the opportunity to work together toward a shared goal.
