Leonardo S.p.A. is scouting for partnerships, investments, and acquisitions within Ukraine’s defense sector. The Italian aerospace giant is specifically targeting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups.

The company aims to integrate Ukraine's combat-proven technologies into its own product portfolio. These innovations have undergone extensive field testing.

This expansion would increase Leonardo’s footprint in Eastern Europe. The move reflects a broader trend of global defense firms seeking direct collaboration with Ukrainian industry.
