This year, the All-Ukrainian Innovation Ecosystem "Sikorsky Challenge Ukraine" was not about ideas, but ready-made projects. Most of them were dedicated to defense: from special high-strength materials to special military equipment.
Many startups were also about rethinking our infrastructure, such as a smart shelter that can serve as a work and study space even in peacetime; ecology, and economical use of energy resources, medicine.
A novelty of the Festival of Innovative Projects — Sikorsky Challenge Junior: KPI School of Creativity. This is a school of creativity for young inventors. Lectures and hands-on classes for training skills, generating ideas and bold initiatives.
