Meeting with Japanese Investors based in Japan and Hong Kong 🇺🇦🇯🇵

Meeting with Japanese Investors based in Japan and Hong Kong 🇺🇦🇯🇵

Our Senior Advisor Kuniori Matsuda took part in a series of working dinners with Japanese investors in Tokyo and Hong Kong, focusing on opportunities in the Ukrainian drone industry.

Japanese investors expressed strong interest in:

ʉۢ investment in Ukrainian drone developers and producers,

ʉۢ import of finished drones and related technologies from Ukraine to Japan,

ʉۢ joint R&D and technical cooperation.

Kuniori Matsuda emphasized the unique role drones can play for Japan, given its long coastline and vast territorial waters — not only in defense, but also in coast guard, search & rescue, environmental monitoring, and meteorology. The investors fully agreed on the strategic potential of such cooperation.

📌 The industry is moving fast: recently, Quantum Systems invested in Frontline, a Ukrainian producer of unmanned ground systems — the first foreign defence tech investment in Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion. This is only the beginning of a broader wave of international cooperation in Ukraine’s defence innovation.

We are proud that our Senior Advisor contributes to building such bridges and strengthening the dialogue between Ukraine’s defence tech sector and Japan’s forward-looking investors.
