EDTH x Dmytro Kuzmenko — Mentoring Session

Join the mentoring call with Dmytro Kuzmenko, CEO of the Ukrainian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (UVCA), to explore the future of defense innovation, investment, and EU–Ukraine cooperation.

Dmytro has 15+ years of experience across investment banking, venture capital, and deep tech. His background spans distressed assets, venture investments, startup acceleration, and mentoring founders building cutting-edge technologies.

Bring your questions, ideas, and current challenges — we'll dive into topics including:

• Which defense tech trends truly matter right now, and which are mostly noise?

• How revolutionary are Ukrainian defense innovations nowadays (from a European perspective)?

• Where are the biggest differences in vision from the perspective of both sides – Ukraine and the EU?

• How can the EU utilize Ukrainian experience in development and transform the existing approach?

• EU-Ukraine defense cooperation: moving from capability gaps to investment gaps - are they aligned?

• What would be the most beneficial ways to cooperate?

• Bureaucracy, regulation, protectionism, challenges of rapid growth – what other problems might UA companies face?

• What about money?
