On April 4, registered attendees and alumni of the Junior Academy of Sciences of Ukraine will have the opportunity to observe the open pitch session of Ukrainian Future resident teams competing for a chance to attend one of Europe’s top startup events.

UF Spring Pitch Competition 2025 is a mid-program pitch session for participants of the UF Incubation innovation project management program. This event provides an opportunity for resident startups of the business incubator—working in fields such as artificial intelligence, agritech, alternative energy, IoT, and more—to showcase their ideas to a broad audience, industry experts, potential partners, and clients.

Each team will have 3 minutes to present their startup and 3 minutes for a Q&A session. Based on the pitches, the jury will select three startup projects that will earn the opportunity to present their ideas on an international stage, including at a major European startup event. The winners will be announced within an hour after the pitch session concludes.

The UF Spring Pitch Competition 2025 is open for viewing to attendees and alumni of the Junior Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. For invited guests, the event offers a unique chance to explore cutting-edge technologies, learn about the business incubator as a hub for innovative ideas and startups, and gain insights from successful entrepreneurs who have already navigated the startup journey.

Guest attendance requires prior registration. Upon confirmation, you will receive an official invitation via email with the event location details. Please note that seating for spectators is limited.
