“K4 is a new format of state interaction: the program unites developers, military experts and mentors of the world level,” the defense department said.
The MOU has identified four key challenges that directly respond to the needs of the troops. In these areas, teams will apply for participation in the program. However, they can also offer their own ideas for the defense. You can find a full list of hellos on the site. It is also possible to apply here by August 15, 2025.
Selection of program participants will take place in several stages. Among the candidates will choose up to 10 teams to participate in the program, of which four will receive grants – $250 thousand for each technological solution. The teams will be rated twice – a specially formed grant committee.
“Each team will first host a 4-month intensive development program: mentorism from leading Ukrainian and world experts, combat testing of their decisions and feedback directly from the military. After that, 6 months of individual support, which should be completed by attracting investments and/or concluding a state contract.
The main advantage for the startups in MOU is the direct connection with the end user and the ability to scale their solutions into a real defense system. For investors, it is fast access to technology tested in war.
Earlier it was also reported that The EU and Ukraine launch a new initiative for the defense – Bravetech EU. Within the parties mobilize 100 million euros to search for technological gamers for war.
