The incubation program from Ukrainian Future, the business incubator of the Young Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, will be held with the support of GIST — a global innovation project of scientific and technical initiatives of the US State Department. The Business Incubation Program is designed for 2 categories of participants with separate working conditions and expected results for each of the categories:
startups with a formed team (at least 2 participants), the degree of readiness of the project corresponds to no lower than the level of TRL3 (experimental proof of concept) and higher;
promising youth projects of MANU students and participants of the UF Startup School Beginner pre-incubation program from the Ukrainian Future business incubator.

Business incubation program 2024 is:
  • individual consulting;
  • a personalized plan of result-oriented work — attracting funds in one form or another;
  • media support of participants' achievements;
  • Demo Day with representatives of venture funds once every three months;
  • consultations with invited coaches and mentors;
  • preparation for participation in Ukrainian and international startup events;
  • powerful production base: use of co-working space, UF FabLab prototyping laboratory and Ukrainian Future material library on preferential terms;
  • consultations of a prototyping laboratory engineer;
  • networking, etc.

Currently, 8 startups are being incubated at Ukrainian Future. We have 4 more places for potential participants for startups with a degree of project readiness not lower than TRL3 level. Preference is given to startups working in the fields of agrotechnology, alternative energy, medical technology, creative industries and aviation. Selection criteria, information on preparing a presentation for the application and the application form itself are available on the program page.
