“Today, Ukraine takes 45th place out of 131 countries in terms of innovative economic development and 50th in the ranking of the best countries for startups.

We managed to get to know and communicate with many of them, learn more about their ideas and developments, each of them has great potential. In turn, our NGO presented the developments of students of FIСT NTUU «KPI» in robotics. We brought two robots to Lisbon – HU-Bot and MarkoBot, which brought the attention of many conference participants. At Web Summit we agreed on a partnership with Pavel Kartashov from Ukrainian Startup Fund (UFS) and Sergey Martynchuk from Cisco Ukraine, and shortly we will sign memorandums that we plan to implement in new projects with the FIСT students,” – said the co-founder of «IT education development».

Let us remind that «IT education development» is a public organization of the graduates of FIСT NTUU “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute”, which aims to develop the tech infrastructure and IT network in Ukraine to reduce the outflow of IT students abroad. There are several projects of the NGO with the FICT – Innovative Hub, Intellectual Robotodrome, and Smart Park. The partners of «IT education development» are large Ukrainian IT companies, including Genesis, EPAM, Luxoft, Global Logic, SoftConstruct, Cisco, Netcracker, UNFPA, Data Art, InfoPulse, R&B Group, TOLK, ASDE, and others.

We also remind that Web Summit is one of the largest IT conferences in the world, which was held offline for the first time in two years. The main developer of the World Wide Web Tim Berners-Lee, Microsoft President Brad Smith, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, Amazon CTO Dr. Werner Vogels, Wladimir Klitschko, and others were among the WS 2021 speakers. This year the summit brought together at least 2 thousand startups, 1.1 thousand investors, and 2.2 thousand media representatives.
