Fondul NATO pentru Inovare, în valoare de un miliard de euro, se va axa pe dezvoltarea tehnologiilor de apărare împotriva dronelor pornind de la experiența Ucrainei în războiul cu Rusia

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is reshaping NATO's defense technology priorities, particularly in drone combat and space surveillance, according to NATO Innovation Fund head Ari Jonsson. The one billion euro fund, supported by 24 NATO member states, is expanding its operations in Poland to accelerate dual-use technology development. Jonsson highlighted the unprecedented scale of drone incursions in Eastern Europe, emphasizing the urgent need for technologies to detect and neutralize drones. The lessons from the Ukraine war have significantly influenced the fund's investment strategy, making Poland an attractive destination for defense technology investments. The fund aims to identify innovative solutions beyond traditional defense suppliers, establishing a presence in Warsaw to facilitate this process.
