Invest in Innovation and Solidarity: New NFT Collection Offers Exclusive Perks While Directly Supporting Ukraine’s Thriving Tech Sector During Critical Times.
In a powerful blend of innovation and solidarity, French Tech Kyiv (FTK) has announced the launch of its inaugural NFT collection. This initiative aims not only to build a digitally-empowered community but, more crucially, to channel vital support towards Ukraine’s remarkably resilient tech ecosystem, which continues to thrive and innovate despite the ongoing full-scale invasion by Russia.
Since February 2022, Ukraine’s technology sector has become a symbol of national fortitude. Against immense odds, it maintains impressive growth, demonstrating that dynamism and creativity can persist even in the darkest hours. Recognizing this potential long before the invasion, French tech entrepreneurs based in Kyiv formed French Tech Kyiv in May 2020. Their mission, now more critical than ever, is to foster collaboration, build bridges between the French and Ukrainian tech scenes, and champion the future of Ukrainian innovation.
“We believe deeply in the incredible potential of Ukraine and its tech ecosystem,” states the French Tech Kyiv team. “We also love Ukraine. This NFT project is a way for the global community to actively participate in supporting a sector vital to the country’s future, especially when European solidarity and practical help are paramount”.
While the US currently dominates investment in Ukrainian startups (accounting for over 90%, according to UVCA), French Tech Kyiv believes France and Europe have a significant role to play. This NFT launch is a concrete step towards deepening that engagement.
