More details: EU4Innovation East is a regional project enhancing the competitiveness of the startup ecosystems in five Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine. At its core is a comprehensive strategy to foster high- performance incubators, expand funding and market opportunities, strengthen community ties and amplify the visibility of EaP startups.

PPV Agency’s role: With the project's support, our experts are assisting Chernihiv Polytechnic National University (CPNU) in strengthening and improving its innovation development capacity. They will also analyze the university's impact on the innovation potential of the Chernihiv region.

The collaboration will result in the development of the University’s Innovation Strategy and a number of supporting analytical materials. The project also includes study visits to Ivano-Frankivsk for representatives of government and business, researchers, startup founders, potential investors, teachers, and students.

The work is based on the outcomes of the "New Economy of Ivano-Frankivsk" initiative.
