Kyiv Polytechnic to collaborate with Amazon Web Services
Modern technologies and innovations. Secure cloud services and technologies and access to training platforms for students and teachers with a focus on artificial intelligence trends. Kyiv Polytechnic could gain access to a wide range of cloud technologies and IT services from Amazon Web Services, the most flexible and secure cloud computing environment available today.
Oleksandr Marikovskyi, Head of the Subcommittee on Regional Economic Cooperation and Trade of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Economic Development, Member of Parliament of Ukraine : “I am very grateful to Amazon, particularly to Liam and Peter, for coming to visit KPI. This is a very important visit because it shows that large global companies are interested in the activities of our largest technological university in Ukraine”.
KPI students and staff will collaborate with one of the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud providers, Amazon Web Services, which has visited Ukraine for the first time since the full-scale invasion.
Heorhii Dubynskyi, Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine: “This is a strategic partner, one of the largest cloud technology providers in the world, and not only cloud technologies. Amazon is also involved in space technologies, which are practically interconnected with what Kyiv Polytechnic focuses on. Therefore, I believe that there is indeed a broad scope for cooperation. We must seek ways of collaboration to help us win this war and rebuild Ukraine.”
Amazon Web Services and Kyiv Polytechnic will collaborate at the university to develop cloud technologies, digital transformation, and innovations. Moreover, KPI students and staff will be able to seamlessly implement their scientific projects, regardless of the challenges posed by martial law.
Serhii Stirenkо, Vice-Rector for Scientific Work: “We know how unstable our energy networks are right now during these bombings. But we must carry out our scientific projects in conditions where electricity constantly goes out. Amazon can provide us access to their infrastructure. Secondly, it is a platform for training artificial intelligence models. As we know, such models are currently being used at the front, and we are actively working in this direction.”
Representatives of the public sector, leading entrepreneurs, and businessmen from Ukraine joined the meeting to develop joint startup projects with KPI scientists in the future, using Amazon’s cloud technologies.
In particular, these priority areas include the development of economic resilience and the post-war reconstruction of our country.
Kateryna Mykhalko, Executive Director of Technological Forces of Ukraine: “Today’s meeting with Amazon once again proves it. We have leading enterprises that are developing military technologies, and, of course, cooperation with students who may dream of a career in the mil-tech sector is very valuable for us because engineers in Ukraine are the new gold. They are truly helping to bring victory closer. Therefore, cooperation with KPI has the potential to be a highly valuable initiative for us.”
