Ukrainian Future, the business incubator of the Junior Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, opens registration for Innovation Days — an online intensive designed to help young participants prepare their ideas in response to the challenges of the World Series of Innovation (WSI) and compete for cash prizes from the international organization Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE).

Ukrainian Future is the official NFTE (USA) representative in Ukraine and organizes Innovation Days to provide Ukrainian participants with the knowledge, skills, and mentorship needed to prepare for WSI — an annual international competition that encourages young people aged 13–24 from around the world to develop innovative entrepreneurial solutions addressing real sustainable development challenges.

To participate in WSI, applicants must select one of six challenges aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, generate an idea responding to the selected challenge, and refine their solution with the guidance of Ukrainian Futureexperts during Innovation Days. The program will take place in two stages: practical online workshops on November 10–11 from 16:00 to 17:30, and online consultations on December 2 and 4, which will help participants better understand key sustainable development challenges and prepare a compelling submission for WSI 2025.

Following the first stage of international judging, selected participants will be invited to create a one-minute videopresenting their project, which will be published on the World Series of Innovation YouTube channel for public viewing. The second stage of evaluation will determine the finalists, whose names will be announced on World Creativity and Innovation Day — April 21, 2026.

The best ideas in each of the six categories will receive cash prizes: $1,500 for 1st place, $600 for 2nd place, $300 for 3rd place, and $500 for the “People’s Choice” award based on online voting.

Deadline for registration: November 6
