Denys Gurak - Innovative Ukrainian Tech Companies Supporting the War Effort and Powering the Economy

Russia has been attacking Ukraine overtly since 2014, but even before that has sought to influence politics in Ukraine through propaganda and Information warfare, corrupt agents, and assets. But this war turned into a full-scale invasion in February 2022. Of course, Western technology and weaponry has played an important role in helping Ukrainians to resist, but also home-grown technology, techniques of resistance and strong ‘self-organising’ initiatives have all helped turn the tide from being an underdog, to become a capable and formidable opponent. Today I am speaking with Denys Gurak, an innovator and technology entrepreneur, about how Ukraine is becoming a tech powerhouse, and how this is contributing to their resistance and victory. Denys Gurak has worked with both industrial juggernauts and small technology ventures. His specializations are in biotech, aerospace, and security industries. Denys Gurak is Chief Executive Officer of A.D.A.M. (Advanced Development of Additive Manufacturing). He has a passion for developing world changing tech ventures but is also highly active in several think tanks and NGOs. He is also interested in geopolitics and accomplished at public speaking.
