Ivan Sybyriakov, Senior Manager of the Unmanned Systems Centre at “Spetstechnoexport” and representor of the Ukrainian Pavilion at IDEX 2025, emphasised that Ukraine’s participation in the exhibition represents a strategic opportunity to showcase its latest defence technologies, particularly in unmanned systems, which have demonstrated their effectiveness in real combat scenarios.

Sybyriakov explained that “Spetstechnoexport” is a state-owned company operating under the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, with over 26 years of experience in exporting and importing defence equipment.

The company plays a key role in coordinating the participation of more than 20 Ukrainian defence manufacturers in the Ukrainian pavilion at IDEX, where they are presenting cutting-edge unmanned systems and advanced technologies.

He pointed out that one of the primary goals of Ukraine’s presence at IDEX is to strengthen international partnerships, particularly in the Middle East, a region with significant potential for defence technology collaboration.

Sybyriakov stressed that Ukraine is focusing on attracting international investors to establish strategic partnerships with Ukrainian companies.
