Which Ukrainian start-ups are encouraged to apply?
We would like to invite Ukrainian technology start-ups that have already reached level 3 of technological readiness and have a proof-of-concept. The trainings will be held offline exclusively on the selected dates from 10.00 to 17.00 EEST. We encourage applications from start-ups in areas such as health and biotech, energy and green, climate, agri-food, digital and AI, manufacturing, and new materials.
We are happy to continue cooperation with the European Institute of Innovation and Technology and launch a joint training programme for start-ups. The programme is unique for Ukraine because our lecturers are entrepreneurs are founders of technology businesses and investors who built and sold their own start-ups, invest in start-ups, and know exactly what is needed for the development and success of innovative start-ups.
