The Defence Tech Bootcamp (formerly The Defence Tech Comms Bootcamp) is a joint initiative by Calibrated and Tech PR School, created to strengthen the communication capabilities of Ukrainian defence tech innovators and enable more effective engagement with key stakeholders: investors, governments, industry media, and defence innovation ecosystems across allied nations.
The programme has already trained over 150 participants across three cohorts, with support from BAE Systems, CSG, and DeltaQuad.
Featured speakers have included industry leaders from NATO, BAE Systems, CSG, Presto Tech Horizons, leading law firms, accelerators, and tech communities, as well as international media – including a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist.
