Together, we will be able to implement advanced technologies, develop new educational products, and prepare our students for digital age challenges.

The partnership provides for:

• Exchange of knowledge and best practices in EdTech;
• Joint development and implementation of innovative educational solutions, including development of distance and STEM education;
• Participation in joint projects, conferences, and workshops;
• Support for digital educational transformation and development of innovative solutions;
• Development of the startup ecosystem at the university in educational technologies;
• Involvement of EdTech Ukraine experts in the educational process and scientific research.

The SumDU Startup Center “New Generation” (https://startup.sumdu.edu.ua) is currently a participant in the experimental project of the Ministry of Education and Science, which supports development of startup schools. Cooperation with startup leaders will help our students and scientists in testing projects, finding and attracting investors, implementing innovative ideas and startups, developing partnerships with business. Therefore, we will help our students and scientists who have a cool startup idea to realize these ideas. We support those who strive to implement ideas with effective use of modern technologies in areas of energy efficiency, sustainable development, Cleantech, SmartCity, AI, VR, cybersecurity, etc.
