Ukrainian defense technology manufacturer TAF Industries, in partnership with the Danish company Upteko, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to establish a joint venture (JV) in Denmark, which is expected to produce thousands of drones per month starting in early 2027.
According to a press release, the memorandum was signed during the DALO Industry Days in Herning, Denmark. This collaboration is part of the “Build with Ukraine” initiative.
Under the agreement, the companies are expected to work on scaling up production capacity in the field of FPV drones and strengthening supply chains.
“Today’s agreement is another strategic step that will contribute to further deepening cooperation both between our companies and between Ukraine and Denmark,” TAF Industries CEO Volodymyr Zinovsky is quoted as saying in the press release.
For his part, Upteko founder Benjamin Meinerz added that the companies jointly aim to foster innovation by developing high-performance systems and building an organization capable of adapting to future challenges.
“Establishing a manufacturing facility and a development office outside of Ukraine creates a solid foundation for cooperation in the fields of research, engineering, and manufacturing,” noted the founder of Upteko.
In June, TAF Industries, together with the Polish Defense Group (Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa), signed a memorandum of understanding regarding the further localization of production in Poland and the expansion of manufacturing capacity.
The Danish technology company Upteko was founded in 2018 and specializes in developing drone solutions for the maritime and industrial sectors. The company collaborates with industrial partners, government agencies, and representatives of the maritime sector.
Ukrainian defense technology manufacturer TAF Industries produces over 30 types of defense products, including FPV drones and reconnaissance UAVs, electronic warfare systems, remote control solutions, and AI-based combat technologies. The company’s monthly production of FPV drones reaches up to 80,000 units.
