Nataliya Meyer (Polyushkevych) is in Poland around the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026 to support Helicon Defense’s outreach to Ukrainian and allied defense-industry stakeholders. Her focus is on listening, relationship-building, and identifying responsible pathways for IP protection, legal structure, allied manufacturing, and U.S./allied defense transition for qualified technologies.
Helicon Defense is developing a U.S.-based transition capability for qualified Ukrainian and allied technologies that are wartime-developed, customer-validated, or mission-relevant, but require a responsible pathway into U.S. and allied defense ecosystems. That pathway may include IP protection, legal and commercial structure, export-control awareness, trusted supply-chain review, component localization, manufacturing-readiness development, demonstration planning, and defense customer engagement.
Ukrainian innovators are solving urgent defense problems under real operational pressure. But moving those capabilities into U.S. and allied defense channels requires more than interest. It requires trust, IP (Intellectual Property) discipline, legal structure, compliance awareness, manufacturing realism, and a serious path to demonstration and adoption.
— David Sherrer, Founder & CEO, Helicon Defense
The Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026 is being held in Gdańsk on June 25–26. Helicon’s work around the conference focuses on the defense-industrial transition layer: helping selected Ukrainian and allied capabilities move from field validation toward protected IP structures, allied manufacturing readiness, trusted supply chains, and U.S./allied customer pathways.
