🚀 Three years in a row, the Polish-Ukrainian startup bridge has held a large-scale event for startups and all techno fans all over the world – Kyiv Tech Hub. However, this year, a new Russian attack on Ukraine canceled many plans. Unfortunately, the security and energy situation in Kyiv does not allow us to hold the event as we would like to. Therefore, our team decided to gather all our friends, partners and colleagues in Warsaw on December 9th for the main professional event of our program – Ukrainian Startups’ Demo Day.

💫 What will take place during the event?
Pitch competition of 15 startups (pre-selected), B2B tables for connecting with representatives of Venture Capital Funds, discussion panel, networking and delicious treats.

🧐 Who can join the event?
Startuppers, investors, representatives of the IT community, media, and everyone who is interested in the startup industry.

📲 Participation is free of charge. To receive invitations, please register – https://bit.ly/3zWEWlO.
