Localize your defense production in Ukraine
Stand up joint production, a JV or a supply-chain footprint inside Ukraine — under the Defence City regime, with vetted local partners. Wiseboard is the operator on the ground that gets a foreign manufacturer set up in-country: first partner, structure, and a line running.
Build where the demand and the know-how already are
Ukraine is Europe's largest live defense market and a proving ground for production at war speed. Localizing puts you inside it — closer to the buyer, the talent and the iteration.
Inside the market
Local production means procurement eligibility, faster iteration with the end user, and a foothold as the market scales.
Talent and tempo
Engineers and lines that iterate at war speed. What takes quarters elsewhere ships in weeks here.
A defined regime
Defence City and Diia.City make a Ukrainian footprint predictable — tax, legal and structure a foreign manufacturer can underwrite.
From first partner to a line running
Not an MoU and a handshake — a partner, a structure and production standing up on the ground.
Tell us the footprint
What you make, the volume, the IP you keep home and what runs in-country — on a call, under NDA.
Matched to local partners
Vetted manufacturers, contract producers and JV partners from our network — matched to your product and standards.
Structured under the regime
The JV, licensing and IP structured under Defence City / Diia.City — built with our legal and finance partners.
Stood up and running
Site, supply chain and first production stood up, with the local relationships to scale.
A JV, or contract production
Own the footprint through a joint venture, or run volume through a vetted local producer — often one, then the other.
Joint venture
A co-owned Ukrainian entity — your IP and standards, local production and market access, structured for a foreign owner.
Contract manufacturing
Volume produced by a vetted local partner to your spec, without standing up your own entity first.
Every footprint is scoped to your IP boundaries, your compliance regime and the product's classification.
The best local partners are being chosen now.
As primes and manufacturers localize, the strongest partners and the market position get taken. A footprint built early compounds; one built late plays catch-up.
Manufacturers building a foothold
Companies that make things and want to make them where the market and the know-how are.
Primes & OEMs
Defense primes and OEMs localizing production or standing up a JV to serve Ukraine and the region.
Component & subsystem makers
Suppliers building a Ukrainian production or assembly footprint close to the end user.
Dual-use manufacturers
Commercial manufacturers with dual-use lines entering defense through local production.
A footprint on the ground, not an MoU
A structure that holds, partners that deliver, and a line that runs.
A vetted local partner
A production or JV partner matched to your product and standards, diligenced before you commit.
A structure under the regime
JV, licensing and IP structured under Defence City / Diia.City for a foreign owner.
A running footprint
Site, supply chain and first production stood up — and the relationships to scale it.
Under NDA, IP protected
What you make, where, and with whom stays confidential. IP boundaries and licensing are defined before anything moves, so localizing production never means giving the technology away.
