Join us on Monday, September 21, from 10:00 AM to Noon at Greater Rochester Chamber for our Rochester TRENDs event series: U.S.–Ukraine Innovation Exchange – From Defense Technology to Commercial Impact.

This discussion will focus on advancing business development and technology commercialization, with particular attention to adapting defense-sector innovations for civilian applications.

This Open World Ukraine visit is sponsored by the Congressional Office for International Leadership (COIL), which fosters professional exchange between U.S. communities and emerging international leaders. The local visit is coordinated by the UAC Foundation at Ukrainian Federal Credit Union (Ukrainian FCU), serving as the Rochester host organization.

The conversation with the Ukrainian delegation will highlight opportunities for international investment and the application of technologies such as drones and robotics across industries, while exploring ways to strengthen U.S.–Ukraine collaboration in innovation, entrepreneurship, and regional economic development.
