This is a significant moment for USBA as we played a key role in organizing this historic moment. Ukrainian-Swiss Business Association is truly building bridges, connecting thriving entrepreneurial ecosystems.

Moreover, this could never have happened without our partner who became a sponsor – KUNA Pay – the cryptocurrency payment service. Kuna is determined to be at the forefront and sponsoring this movement.

The first official Ukrainian delegation included eight startups that presented the country’s innovation ecosystem at the largest Swiss event for startups and technologies:

  1. Awertise is a SaaS platform that pioneers performance-oriented advertising and analytics in the streaming services market.
  2. CheckEye is an artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) technology for mass screening of chronic diseases and their complications.
  3. Melt Water Club is the world’s most advanced technology and device for water purification up to 1000 liters per day.
  4. Platma – Extreme No-Code software development platform that uses natural language instead of code.
  5. Releaf Paper – is the world’s first manufacturer of paper made from urban green waste.
  6. Revisior – is an omnichannel feedback and NPS system that allows you to collect feedback from all channels in one place, process it, analyze it, and improve the quality of service.
  7. S.Lab – is an eco-friendly packaging made from plant components as a replacement for foam.
  8. Vrnet. io – is a Ukrainian startup that has visualized all real estate in Ukraine into a metaverse and is currently adding AI to automate marketing and sales.

As part of the official Pitching Competition, S.Lab and CheckEye not only presented their projects on the main stage of the conference but also became the winners! S.lab became the first in the Early-stage startups category and won 5,000 CHF, and CheckEye took third place in the pitch and received a prize of 2,000 CHF.

The innovations of Ukrainian startups were highly appreciated at Startup Nights 2023, which emphasizes the powerful potential of the Ukrainian tech community! About 8000 visitors to the event had the opportunity to get acquainted with the Ukrainian startup ecosystem, products, and services presented by the delegation members.
