G-Next Intelligence develops a platform for the collection, processing, verification and analysis of data for military operations in real time. It is used for risk forecasting, analysis of enemy behavioral patterns, and strategic planning of operations based on huge data sets. The company's main clients are military units that need to automate work with large volumes of data, minimize manual operations, and shorten the time from receiving information to action. The company interacts with the field commanders of Armed Forces of Ukraine and promptly responds to their feedback.

Skydio produces military drones (sUAS) for tactical reconnaissance, battlefield surveillance, and military base inspection. Its drones are equipped with artificial intelligence, enabling the creation of a sensor network that collects data faster, smarter, and safer than ground troops. They use secure standards to communicate with other devices locally and deliver enhanced resilience and survivability on the toughest battlefields. Skydio has Army contract to create drones for its Short Range Reconnaissance (SRR) program.

Kela is developing software platform for Western armies designed to connect and manage multiple components essential for military operations (communications equipment, phones, night vision devices, sensors, radars, encryption devices...). The system collects data from multiple sources, processes it in real time, and presents it through a single management interface for monitoring connected systems and assets. Built on an open and modular architecture, the platform allows armies to implement new technologies without requiring significant changes to existing systems. This approach is designed to help defense organizations more quickly deploy new capabilities.
