Two Ukrainian Companies Secure NATO Tenders for First Time Through New Cooperation Mechanism
Two Ukrainian companies have successfully won NATO tenders for the first time, a development facilitated by a new special cooperation mechanism established by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA). This mechanism, known as the Security Cooperation Support Partnership, is specifically designed to enable Ukrainian companies to participate in NATO procurement programs. Alyona Getmanchuk, head of the Mission of Ukraine to NATO, announced this achievement, noting that the initiative helps integrate Ukrainian companies into NATO’s defense innovation and industrial ecosystem. The special partner-matching mechanism also allows Ukrainian companies and startups to find partners in NATO member states for joint technology development, testing, and scaling up defense production. Ukraine also became the first NATO partner to sign a memorandum with NATO’s Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA).
