The Ukrainian Tech Ecosystem pavilion was in the center of attention and was memorable with a rich program. In particular, more than 20 master classes and presentations, hundreds of meetings with investors, funds and organizations from all over the world, as well as a two-day pitching of 40 Ukrainian startups to investors and conference visitors were held as part of the Ukrainian stand.
