The Art of Winning Project by Tech Force in UA was launched on February 21, 2025, in Kyiv. The next stops include such world capitals as Brussels, Rome, London, and Washington. But the first foreign city where we present The Art of Winning is Copenhagen. And this is no coincidence. After all, Denmark was perhaps the first country to do everything possible and impossible to support the Ukrainian people and our Armed Forces from the first days of the full-scale invasion. Denmark handed all its Caesar self-propelled howitzers to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Denmark was also the first country to join the fundraising initiative aimed at developing Ukraine’s defense industry. Ukrainian drones present a unique example of how brainpower defeats brute force. This is knowledge we are obliged to share with the world. The Art of Winning Project is the first international project by the alliance of private Ukrainian arms producers — Tech Force in UA — that showcases our innovative struggle to the world. The Art of Winning is more than just a series of photographs. This exhibition tells the story of how Ukrainians turned technology into a tool of liberation and transformed brainpower into a weapon. Each image is evidence of how Ukraine leverages brainpower and creativity to protect its people, change the course of the war, and shape the future.
