DefTech Forges (BraveTech EU)
BraveTech EU · Ukraine MoD + Brave1
About this opportunity
A BraveTech EU technology challenge across five tracks — missile/UAV guidance, autonomous strike UAVs, modular UAV systems, detection, and EW-resistant platforms & flight controllers. An expert panel (with Brave1) picks 40 teams for offline competitions in Germany and Romania; six winners take a €120k grant plus up to €750k follow-on after European Defence Agency review.
Eligibility
Open to Ukrainian and European defense / dual-use makers with a working prototype at TRL 4+. Ukrainian companies apply directly — no EU entity required. Brave1 sits on the evaluation jury.
