UKRIC and Kyiv School of Economics signed a memorandum of cooperation!
Next Ukraine is starting a partnership with the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) for its Ukraine Invention Convention (UKRIC) project, so that young inventors and their projects have more opportunities to develop.
As part of the partnership, Kyiv School of Economics will involve its mentors in the Ukrainian Invention Convention. They will help participants develop their own ideas, work on projects, and improve their inventions within the competition program.
This partnership will allow UKRIC participants to gain access to additional expertise and experience from specialists in various fields.

The final of UKRIC Inventors Cup 2026/7 will be held at one of KSE’s campuses
Another important area of cooperation will be holding the final stage of UKRIC Inventors Cup 2026/7 at one of the Kyiv School of Economics campuses.
The final will be an opportunity for participants to present the results of their work, showcase their own inventions, and receive an evaluation of their projects.
Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) is a private university and educational-research institution that develops education, research, and professional programs in economics, business, management, public policy, and other fields.
KSE also implements research and socially important projects aimed at developing human capital and supporting Ukraine.
For UKRIC, cooperation with KSE is an opportunity to expand the circle of experts and mentors involved in working with young inventors, and for competition participants, it is a chance to gain new experience and additional opportunities to develop their projects.
UKRIC continues to build an environment in which young inventors can develop their ideas, receive support from experts, and turn them into real projects.
