Access to combat data for AI training has been provided to more than 100 Ukrainian companies, highlighting broader data-sharing efforts amid defense modernization.

This framework expands an October 2025 experimental project and creates a transparent, paid mechanism to transfer Defense Ministry technologies into mass production at scale.

The initiative aims to create a unified ecosystem for managing defense IP, fostering state–business collaboration to meet wartime needs across production, content use, and IP rights.

The mechanism is described as a fair remuneration system for soldiers and establishes competitive rules for state-developed technologies.

Ukraine has approved a new licensing framework that allocates at least a quarter of licensing revenue to the military personnel who created the technologies, with the rest funding defense innovation, production, and IP protection.

The framework directs the remainder of license proceeds toward military R&D and defense innovations, and in some cases certain technologies may be licensed free of charge.

The mechanism seeks transparent licensing and competitive collaboration with state developments to rapidly scale effective front-line solutions.

Fedorov emphasizes that Ukraine is generating unique wartime technologies and will reward authors to spur rapid deployment of the best solutions.

The initiative is designed to commercialize state defense developments, accelerate R&D in military and private sectors, and help domestic defense firms scale technologies through state partnerships.

Fedorov, age 34, who previously led digital transformation and founded the Brave1 defense tech accelerator, is driving reforms to Ukraine’s defense innovation pipeline.

The licensing reform is part of a broader institutional overhaul by Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov since January 2026, aimed at overhauling defense procurement, production, and innovation.

The Ministry of Defense launched TrophyLab to give global partners access to technical information about modern weapons, including Russian systems, via publicly available data.
