Stories

Testimonials

Programs like “Innovators of Energy Efficiency of Ukraine” play an extremely important role in modern realities.

I am convinced that they provide participants not only with a unique opportunity to receive valuable consultations from leading experts but also help establish a network of contacts and understand the principles of the energy efficiency sector. Such programs help improve business plans and presentations, making participants’ projects more commercially attractive.

Demo Day was the culmination of the program, where 15 finalists had the opportunity to present their innovative solutions to experts and potential investors. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of project implementation and the creative approach to energy efficiency issues.

I am confident that this program will open up real opportunities for participants to develop their businesses both in the domestic and international markets. The innovative solutions presented on Demo Day only emphasize that Ukraine has every chance to become one of the leaders in energy-efficient technologies and solutions. This indicates the significant potential of the country in this promising field and contributes to its integration into the global energy-efficient community.

Head of Ukraine Energy Initiative
The educational program for energy efficiency innovators in Ukraine is extremely important in the current conditions of constant blackouts caused by the invasion.

It is aimed at supporting businesses that focus on energy efficiency both in the context
of the final product and production, which is critically necessary to ensure the resilience
of our country.

As experts, we have gained invaluable experience by communicating with talented
entrepreneurs who are actively working on implementing innovative solutions in the
field of energy efficiency. During Demo Day, the teams presented their business models,
impact indicators, and strategies with such enthusiasm and professionalism that
choosing the winners was incredibly difficult. The jury was guided not only by the
technical aspects and innovativeness of the presented solutions but also by their
potential to achieve social impact, long-term sustainability, and scalability, which can
become a powerful support in stabilizing and rebuilding our country.
