Euronews: Ukrainian innovators showcase their new ideas at the world’s largest tech show

Among the 3,200 stalls exhibiting the latest gadgets, gizmos and game-changers from the world of technology, a proud group of 12 start-ups has been flying the flag for Ukraine. A fund supporting entrepreneurs in their home country offered the Ukrainians a chance to travel to Las Vegas to attend CES to showcase their ideas.

• Two of the Ukrainian businesses attending the event have developed innovative solutions to bring new products to market through recycling and reusing existing resources. One company makes paper using leaves and the other turns coffee grinds into candle holders.
• “So we use falling leaves, we get it from the city streets and parks to produce the most sustainable paper in the world without cutting the trees,” said Alexander Sobolenko, ReLeaf co-founder, who says his manufacturing process produces 78 per cent fewer CO2 emissions than conventional paper manufacturing.

So yes, the militaries are fighting, Ukrainian business is working, start-ups are developing, so everyone is doing their job.
