Arrival, registration, welcome coffee & opening

​11:00 – 12:00
Panel 1: Digital Infrastructure & GovTech
Capital deployment, market dynamics & investor perspectives

Why this matters:

The recent German–Ukrainian strategic partnership explicitly prioritizes cooperation in digital infrastructure, GovTech and AI, including joint projects, interoperable systems and sovereign AI development.

As bilateral programmes move from political alignment into operational deployment, concrete pathways for cross-border investment, infrastructure partnerships and scalable system integration are emerging.

Combined with Ukraine’s proven ability to deploy digital public services at scale, this creates a unique momentum for investors, operators and technology partners across the EU–Ukraine corridor.

Panelists:

• Oleksandr Iefremov, CEO, Kitsoft (Ukraine)
• Jakob Albrecht, CEO, polyteia GmbH (Germany)
• Dr. Moritz Heuberger, MdB, Member of the Committee for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation, German Bundestag
• Dmytro Kuzmenko, CEO, UVCA Ukrainian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association

Panel 2: Infrastructure, Energy & Dual Use
Capital deployment, market dynamics & investor perspectives

Why this matters:

The €90bn EU support package, combined with the German–Ukrainian strategic partnership, is accelerating capital deployment across defense, dual-use technologies, energy systems and critical infrastructure.

In practice, these sectors are increasingly interconnected: energy resilience, industrial capacity, logistics, digital infrastructure and defense-related technologies are becoming part of a broader European resilience and security architecture.

As procurement-driven markets, co-production models and cross-border industrial partnerships move into execution, new investment opportunities are emerging across the EU–Ukraine corridor.

Panelists:

• Maksym Riznychenko, Chief Growth Officer, ECOFACTOR (Ukraine)
  Connor Rehn, Director Defense & Security, TUM Venture Labs Aerospace & Defense (Germany)
