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.
