Among other things, the companies plan to work out legal, technical, and production models for cooperation.
“It is of fundamental importance to us that this collaboration takes place within the framework of the ‘Build with Ukraine’ initiative and serves one clear goal: to increase the production of Ukrainian unmanned systems for the needs of Ukraine’s security and defense forces,” said Oleksandr Androshchuk, Director of Investment and Finance at Airlogix, as quoted in the press release.
As part of the partnership, Innokas will provide the capabilities needed to localize and scale up production in Finland, while Airlogix will contribute the technology and engineering solutions.
