## Summary

Ukrainian-founded defence technology company UForce has raised $700 million in a Series A round, valuing it at $6 billion. The funding is intended to increase production of uncrewed systems for Ukraine and allied countries, reflecting growing international interest in defence technology shaped by the war.

London-based UForce, which also has offices in Kyiv and Washington, develops air, land and sea systems and the software to control them. The round was co-led by Valor Equity Partners and the UK’s National Wealth Fund, with the US-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund among the participants; the UK fund separately committed £113 million, or about $150 million. UForce plans to expand production across several regions, including for its Magura naval drones, Nemesis aerial systems, Liut ground robots and Predator turret systems, and expects its UK expansion to create hundreds of skilled jobs.
