| description | In this paper we advocate for the establishment of an aviation “innovative ecosystem” in Ukraine, particularly regarding the technology of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This ambitious strategy necessitates the introduction of new business models, taking advantage of new opportunities for achieving sustainable development goals in the increasingly resource-limited world. Moreover, this initiative faces a notable challenge: navigating the “double transition” of adopting both green and digital transformations across multiple domains. We believe the solution to creating an innovative ecosystem lies in harnessing the intellectual and infrastructural capabilities of top-tier research institutions – which in Ukraine include the National Aviation University (NAU) and the National Technical University “KPI.” By combining the efforts of Ukrainian higher education institutions and actively enhancing international cooperation, in particular with the Łukasiewicz Research Network – Institute of Aviation in Warsaw – we argue – Ukraine can expedite the development of “factories” of ideas and innovations by supporting the training, incubation and growth of startups, encourage the formation of micro and small high-tech enterprises and bringing their products to global and regional markets, improving the mechanisms of interaction of the startup teams with venture capital funds and investment companies. |
