Greencubator Academy, Ukraine’s first and only educational platform for eco-startups, announces a new enrollment for the course “Green Startups: The Way of Progress”.
The unique course is free, in Ukrainian and accessible from anywhere in the world. The course is designed for eco-innovators and eco-activists who have their own green idea and dream of turning it into an environmentally friendly business.
During their studies, students will research their client, develop or improve their product or technology, and create a realistic business plan with which to start their green business. Academy graduates will have access to a network of potential business partners, international grant programs, and investors, and will become part of the entire ecosystem of green startups that Greencubator has been supporting for 15 years.
Valeriia Mosienko, project manager and curator of the Greencubator.Academy educational platform, says:
During my 3 years at Greencubator, I have seen many future founders of green startups who are passionate about their ideas and desire to solve environmental problems, and I am inspired by them every time. With their hard work and stubborn desire to change the future of our planet, these founders create products and services that capture the hearts of customers not only in Ukraine but also across Europe.
The course: “Green Startups: The Path of Progress” is an opportunity to go from researching the problem and opportunities for solving it to meeting your customers, which will help make your idea successful at an early stage. There is an incredible amount of talent in our country with practical ideas, and I am looking forward to meeting them in this year’s course. I dream of seeing world-class examples of cleantech being created in Ukraine!
