Representatives of leading Finnish companies visit Kyiv Polytechnic to establish cooperation
Under the auspices of the Rebuild Ukraine Office, representatives of top Finnish companies visited the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute to explore avenues of cooperation. Among the guests were experts with extensive experience in many areas vital for the university, including:
- Advanced materials,
- Waste recycling,
- Energy-efficient technologies in heating and cooling systems,
- Biomedical engineering.
Representatives from Kimmelux, Toivo Group, Circulation, Grow Capital, Indufor, and Arctic Warm expressed a keen interest in joining ReBuild projects, particularly in the R&D area, which are aimed at renovating and enhancing Ukraine’s functional capabilities.
“Finland has made a giant leap in technology over time,” said Kyiv Polytechnic Rector Anatolii Melnychenko. “Their experience in implementing technologies and building up a high-tech nation is vitally important for us. We need to study it – this is the first component. The second is the high technological culture of the Finns. Our university should train engineers in new approaches to applying technology to business, industry, and the economy.”
One of the first joint initiatives involving the representatives of Finnish companies will be the International Forum “Innovations in Medical Engineering,” slated for May. Organized by Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, the Sikorsky Challenge Innovation Ecosystem, and other partners, the forum is expected to serve as a platform for advancing cooperation and technological innovation.
