About Our Mission
Accelerating collaboration between Dutch and Ukrainian defence organizations to support Ukraine's sovereignty and Europe's security.
Making Europe independent by fostering collaboration between Dutch and Ukrainian defence organizations and stimulating mutual growth.
This is not just about promoting Dutch technology—it's about delivering fit-for-purpose solutions faster, by matching Dutch capabilities with real Ukrainian needs.
Opportunities
Developments in the Ukrainian Defence & Security sector are going at an unprecedented speed. The Netherlands has been a valued partner, and cooperation is being actively stimulated by both governments. The DDC is actively helping Dutch companies navigate this rapidly evolving landscape by providing on-ground expertise, strategic partnerships, and operational support.
With over 260 Dutch defence companies and growing interest to work in Ukraine, there is unprecedented opportunity for innovation, collaboration, and market expansion. The DDC serves as the critical bridge, ensuring Dutch technological excellence meets Ukrainian operational requirements while contributing to Europe's collective security and defence independence.
We facilitate access to funding opportunities, regulatory guidance, and strategic partnerships that enable Dutch companies to scale their impact in one of the world's most dynamic defence markets. Through our network, members gain competitive advantages and contribute to solutions that matter on a global scale.
We also support Ukrainian companies with access to theDutch Defence industry and are not limited to Dutch companies in Ukraine.
