Built Under Fire, Hitting Bureaucratic Walls: Ukrainian Defence Tech and the Strategic Autonomy Test of EU Enlargement This episode discusses the development and integration of Ukraine's defence tech sector — built from near zero under wartime conditions, now comprising over 2,300 companies with frontline-tested technology and an innovation cycle measured in days — which has become the most concrete test case for whether the EU can operationalize the merger of its developmental and security imperatives in enlargement. European strategic autonomy cannot be serious without integrating the most combat-proven defence innovation ecosystem in the world. Whether the governance of a shared European defence upgrade, across institutions, member states, industry, and civil society, can move at the speed the moment demands or whether institutional barriers, outdated perceptions, and fragmented political will break the integration of Ukrainian defence innovation into European security architecture — is no longer an abstract policy question. Hosts: Inna Melnykovska, Jean Monnet Fellow at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, European University Institute, and principal investigator of the ADVANCE–EUiUA project. Marta Beska, Scholar, Expert in EU integration, and coordinator of the ADVANCE-EUiUA project, CEU Invisible University for Ukraine (IUfU).
