The Ukraine-Russia war has completely upended the traditional development of defense tech in Europe.
Ukraine’s resistance has been a miracle of social resilience and innovation—and the way the country has mobilized is serving both a warning and an inspiration to its neighbors. It’s created a mix of market demand and existential threat that’s pushing tech startups in nearby Latvia and other Baltic states into a significant pivot.
Now companies that can find military uses for their products are hardening them—and discovering ways to move around traditional processes to get gear to the front line. It’s a turn that may only become more urgent if incoming US President Donald Trump becomes less willing to underwrite the continent’s defense.

It is! The problem, war truly sucks for people.
War changes the FUTURE for everyone!
