The DSC are collaborating with industry partners and the Embassy of Ukraine for this invitation only event styled Bytes on the Battlefield: UK–Ukraine Data Intelligence & Defence Tech on Wednesday 23 September.

As UK–Ukraine defence and technology cooperation accelerates, so does the complexity — compliance frameworks, export controls, and supply chains without established playbooks. The evening brings together policy, industry, and diplomatic perspectives on the practical realities of that cooperation, including Noel Hadjimichael FRSA (Chair, Defence & Security Circle Whitehall London), Nataliia Chornohub (CEO, YC World), Ashley Thomson (British Army Veteran and OSINT expert), and Denys Demko from the Embassy of Ukraine in the United Kingdom.

The event is hosted by YC World, a due diligence and investigations platform used by compliance, security, and defence teams to trace corporate ownership and risk across jurisdictions, with particular depth in Eastern European networks.

This is a closed event with limited numbers. You can apply to attend via the following link: Bytes on the Battlefield: UK–Ukraine Data Intelligence & Defence Tech · Luma
