The co-organizers plan to announce the start of the competition in October.
– The goal we set for ourselves is to popularize the developments of Ukrainian students, graduate students, young scientists among the business and scientific community of the United States, as well as to encourage investors to implement these projects, – said Pavlo Kostyuk, chairman of the URF. – We are aimed at stimulating innovative activities and solutions aimed at the recovery and sustainable development of Ukraine.
The co-organizers expect participants to submit project concepts for the restoration and development of the economy, agriculture, green energy and environmental improvement, especially in the areas of Ukraine affected by the war.
