From Our Leaders
Kyiv is the capital of innovations and startups. According to the StartupBlink rating, Kyiv ranks 5th in the development of the innovation ecosystem in Eastern Europe. And we definitely want these startups that we have to be able to partner with the city and do joint pilots. We're implementing best practices in digitization and innovation to make Kyiv a model of citizen services.
Valentin Mondriivskyi
We want to make the "City Accelerator" program sustainable, which will help the municipal enterprises of the city of Kyiv to constantly find new technological solutions and startups for themselves. This is just the beginning and a pilot project. More to come.
Anatoly Bagan
The practice of creating urban accelerators is extremely successful in the USA, Israel and Europe. We have created a program where startups will be able to establish partnerships with utilities, which will be mutually beneficial for both parties. For startups, this is a chance to find the first customers and do a large pilot with the city.
