Dual-Use, Defence & Demining

DataDriven advises public and private stakeholders operating in defence, demining, and dual-use markets, with a strong focus on increasing resilience, operational efficiency, and decision-making under conditions shaped by Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine. We work with Ukrainian defence and dual-use players, investment funds, financial institutions to navigate and thrive in the defence and dual-use ecosystems.
Building on Ukraine’s unique battlefield, industrial, and regulatory experience, DataDriven translates operational lessons, technological insights, and market realities from Ukraine into actionable intelligence for decision-makers for other countries, mainly in the NATO markets. This includes supporting international funds, corporates, and governments in evaluating defence and dual-use companies, validating technical and commercial assumptions, and understanding how Ukrainian innovation and warfare-driven adaptation reshape global defence markets.
