Defense Tech Valley 2026 is postponed: do not rely on the old September dates
Brave1 withdrew the planned 16-17 September summit in Lviv. Its announcement leaves the replacement dates and format to a later update.

Brave1 announced on 29 July that Defense Tech Valley, originally planned for 16-17 September in Lviv, would be postponed. The organiser cited wartime security conditions and said the summit would return on new dates and in an updated format.
The announcement does not give a replacement date. This matters when older event calendars and promotional material remain searchable: the original September listing is no longer a valid basis for travel or meeting plans.
Brave1 said it would contact partners and participants individually. Companies with an existing arrangement should therefore confirm it directly with the organiser, rather than treating a third-party calendar entry as confirmation.
Why the format is being reconsidered
The organiser linked its decision to a broader reassessment of how defence innovation events are held during wartime. It emphasised the need to continue industry cooperation while changing how participant safety is addressed.
The public statement establishes the postponement, not the operational details of a future event. We are not publishing a speculative venue, security plan or replacement schedule. Those details belong to a confirmed organiser update.
What participants should do
An exhibition booking, an investor meeting and participation in a programme may each have separate arrangements. The postponement should prompt confirmation of those arrangements and of any refund or transfer conditions directly with the relevant organiser.
For companies considering a first visit, the useful action is to follow Brave1’s official announcements. There is no current registration date in this article because the cited notice does not establish one. We link the postponement statement so readers can distinguish it from obsolete publicity.
