“Together with the best Ukrainian and American experts, we have selected relevant projects for participation in the pitch competition. It was not easy, as we received many applications from talented and promising teams. It is a great honour for me to act as a jury and mentor, to communicate with the participants,” commented Roman Girshfeld.     

As part of an intensive educational and competitive program, a mentor session was held, where Roman Girshfeld and experts assessed the presented projects, their commercialization and prospects, gave feedback to the participants about the specifics of finding a market for a start-up, entering new markets, marketing and technologies.
