This panel will look at the role of the defense industry in Ukraine’s recovery. Kyiv’s successful recovery will depend on a durable peace, and Western support for Ukraine’s defense industrial base (DIB) will be crucial in that effort. This event will discuss ways to best support Ukraine’s DIB, how current efforts of European and US defense firms should be adapted, the opportunities for US and European investment in Ukraine’s DIB, and how Western governments and companies can best learn from Ukraine’s experience to adjust and prepare for future needs. Speakers will include government officials from Europe and Ukraine along with senior private sector representatives.
