A press conference regarding Ukraine’s participation in Web Summit 2022 was held in Kyiv.
For the second time, Ukraine will present its own pavilion at the world’s main tech conference.

“For the second time, our Fund not only supports the Ukrainian delegation at one of the most important and influential conferences in the world, but also organizes the selection of Ukrainian startups that demonstrate the high level of technological and investment potential of our country. We are sure that now it is very important to realize ambitious goals and accept the challenges of the growth and further development of the technological industry,” Pavlo Kartashov said.
This year, the Ukrainian Startup Fund, with the support of its partners, selected the largest delegation of Ukrainian startups in history, which will present their projects and the national IT industry to the whole world already in November.
