On April 1, the finalists of the IT_EUREKA, competition for startup projects in the field of information technology were determined. We received about 100 applications from Ukrainian startups to participate in the contest. These are projects with innovative ideas and solutions for various industries, including education and science, Finance and LegalTech, marketing and EdTech, service, recruitment and tourism, many projects related to medicine and social areas, games and entertainment, startup platforms, and so on.

The competition was held under the aegis of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine within the framework of the All-Ukrainian Forum of Innovation Fest.

Innovation and relevance of the idea,
The thoroughness of the business aspects of the project,
Availability of a functioning prototype or the degree of its realizability.

In making a decision, our experts looked also for a balance between the innovation of the solution and its actuality, evaluated the chances of the project to be implemented, and the business prospects that await the idea for six months or a year.
