Innovation begins where curiosity, ideas, and self-belief meet.
That very spirit was demonstrated by the participants of INSCIENCE Conference 2025 — an event that brings together science and technology, turning knowledge into real-world solutions.
KSE Foundation has traditionally supported the conference as an annual partner, since investing in human capital means investing in Ukraine’s technological future.
This year, three leaders of innovative projects were awarded Talents for Ukraine grants of $5,000 each from the KSE Foundation.
Congratulations to the winners of the INSCIENCE Conference 2025 Startup Pitching Competition!
