Quote: “The investment amount for the Brave1 projects has increased. This year, we began issuing grants for rocket development, and next year, we will extend grants for gunpowder factories. Therefore, I urge investors and businesses to consider these opportunities,” Fedorov said during his speech (Brave1 is a government-backed platform aiming to bring together innovative companies with ideas and developments that can be used in the defence of Ukraine – ed.).
Fedorov said the government has deregulated the gunpowder and explosives market and made it possible that locations of factories are concealed through third-party companies.
