Mission Driven. Regionally Rooted. Globally Connected.
In the heart of Ukraine's wartime innovation, Axendra was founded with a clear mission: to connect
the world's capital with the defense and dual-use technologies shaping the future of global security.
Our Story
Axendra was born from firsthand experience in Ukraine's defense tech ecosystem — not as observers, but as active participants. We saw how local innovators, under extreme pressure, created breakthroughs in drones, electronic warfare, ISR systems, AI targeting, and more.
What was missing was a trusted, strategic bridge between this innovation and the international capital, partnerships, and scale it deserved. So we built one.
Our Role
Axendra works at the intersection of three worlds:
Startups & Founders creating dual-use technologies in Ukraine and across CEE
Strategic Buyers & Investors looking for access to frontier-tested innovation
Government & Military Stakeholders who shape the defense landscape
We guide founders through their first strategic raises or exits, help international investors navigate a complex but rewarding region, and act as a trusted translator between battlefield needs and global business logic.
Trusted by the Ecosystem
We are proud to work in close proximity with Ukraine's most forward-leaning defense institutions and innovation clusters:
Ukraine's official defense tech acceleration platform
one of the most modern and agile formations in the Armed Forces of Ukraine
highly active in deploying and testing emerging technologies on the front
a key governmental partner in developing the industrial base of future warfare
These partnerships don't just inform our perspective — they ground it in frontline reality.
Our Values

Our Vision

Axendra exists to help that happen — faster, smarter, and with purpose.
