About
UCan Brave Tech is a flagship binational initiative designed to accelerate the development, scaling, and deployment of dual-use technologies—solutions that serve both civilian and military applications—through a formal Centre of Excellence (CoE) model.
The initiative links Ukraine’s battlefield-proven defence technologies with Canada’s advanced R&D, manufacturing, and commercialization ecosystem, creating a secure, trusted corridor for joint innovation. Modelled on a framework based on traditional centres of excellence, UCan Brave Tech provides a foundation for long-term economic recovery, industrial modernization, and sovereign technology development in both countries.
Strategic
Objectives
Objective
1. Fast-track joint R&D and rapid prototyping for dual-use systems (e.g., ISR drones, counter-UAS sensors, secure comms, advanced materials)2. Establish a secure binational innovation corridor for IP, talent, and capital.3. Open new defence & civil markets for Ukrainian and Canadian SMEs.4. Embed sustainability and circular-economy principles from design to end-of-life.5. Cultivate a resilient network of academic, industry, and government partners.
Why It Matters
● Shrinks time-to-field for critical capabilities and boosts NATO-standard interoperability.● De-risks scale-up, safeguards sensitive tech, and enables co-investment.● Diversifies revenue, strengthens supply chains, and creates export-ready products.● Aligns with Canada’s green procurement targets and EU eco-design rules.● Builds enduring bilateral ties and shared technical standard.
