Mykhailo Fedorov defense technology venture

Overview

Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has announced the launch of a new defense technology company. The venture is backed by Alex Karp, the CEO of Palantir Technologies, who is serving as the primary lead investor.

The company intends to utilize battlefield insights and combat experience from the war in Ukraine to develop advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, robotics, and low-cost interceptor drones. Fedorov aims to create a broader ecosystem involving a defense investment fund and a think tank to strengthen Ukraine and international allies.

Following his dismissal from the Ukrainian government in July, Fedorov has also taken on a role as an advisor to Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetta, focusing on military innovation. Karp has described the new company as being expected to be “groundbreaking for the world.”
