Throughout the program, startups have already completed 6 thematic sessions — from scaling strategies to the use of artificial intelligence — and are now stepping up to a new level

Here’s what we’ve mastered together 👇

🌍 Scaling up (EU & UA) with Maksym Paraska (Bandera Agency) and Andrii Myroniuk (Myroniuk Consulting) — practical strategies for entering new markets, building a scaling roadmap, and adapting products to meet international demand.

💰 Fundraising with Petro Sovyak-Krukovskyy (Vesna Capital) and Oleksandr Kolb (Toloka.vc, Promodo) — insights from investors and experts on securing funding, crafting an effective pitch, and building sustainable financial models.

⚖️ Legal aspects & IP with Yulia Semeniy (Asters) and Peter Bilyk (Juscutum) — legal fundamentals, intellectual property protection, and navigating international regulations.

🇪🇺 EU market specifics with Oleksii Grushetskyi and Olga Gvozdyova (Entrepreneurship and Export Promotion Office”), as well as Valeriia Krutskykh (SLOVA Tech PR) — how to effectively position a product, build communication with European clients, and establish a strong reputation in a competitive market.

🤖 Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Aleksandr Zozulya (Syngenta) and Taras Hoshovskyi (MHP) — applying AI and digital tools to boost efficiency, optimize production, and drive innovation.

And today, we’re meeting for the final training session with Taras Goshovskyi, CIO of МHP, to dive into one of the most crucial topics for agri-food startups — Corporate Collaboration 🤝

Next, participants will dive into individual mentoring, where each team will receive personalized consultations from industry experts. This is where their solutions will be transformed into real market strategies.

A huge thank you to our mentors for their support and expertise, and to our startups for their energy and commitment to transforming Ukraine’s agri-food sector 💪🇺🇦
