The Brave1 Market platform, an online marketplace for technological solutions for the Armed Forces, has been launched in Ukraine. The Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov wrote about this on his official Telegram channel, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
The platform operates on the principle of traditional online stores such as Amazon or Rozetka, but its content consists exclusively of dual-use and military developments.
At the time of launch , Brave1 Market had more than 1,000 items available: unmanned aerial vehicles, ground robots, electronic warfare (EW) and intelligence (ISR) equipment, components, artificial intelligence-based developments, software, and certain types of ammunition.
Units can choose the equipment they need and enter into direct agreements with manufacturers at the expense of their military unit budgets. To interact with the platform, military personnel are authorized through the Diia app. Access to particularly sensitive information is provided only through a closed catalog in the Delta system, which is opened after additional verification.
According to Mykhailo Fedorov, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation, the launch of the marketplace is intended to solve the problem of fragmentation of the market for new military technologies. Soldiers often do not have information about existing developments or do not know where to buy them. The Brave1 Market should centralize this information and accelerate the introduction of innovations into military units.
The procedure for purchasing equipment for the military includes the following steps
- selecting a product in an open catalog or through the Delta system;
- direct contact with the manufacturer to agree on the terms of supply;
- concluding a contract without intermediaries.
There is a registration procedure for manufacturers:
- passing an inspection through the Ukrainian Startup Fund;
- submitting an application for connection to the marketplace at [email protected] with the subject line “Request to connect to Brave1” and the results of the inspection.
The Brave1 Market is part of a broader initiative to support the development of military technologies in Ukraine, where the government encourages cooperation between developers and direct users of technologies – military units.
