USUF at Innovation Spring in Lviv — U.S. Ukraine Foundation

The U.S.-Ukraine Foundation participated in the annual Innovation Spring forum held at Lviv Polytechnic University’s Tech Startup School.  The event provided the opportunity for USUF’s Christina Redko and Adrian Karmazyn to promote the Foundation’s Biotechnology Initiative and new BioUkraine website, observe a startup-pitch competition featuring young innovators, tour the impressive Tech Startup School facility and engage in a discussion with the startup school’s CEO Nazar Podolchak, Lviv Deputy Mayor for Development Andriy Moskalenko, Lviv Biotech and Pharma Cluster coordinator Iryna Bukhnii and others about energizing the city’s biotech ecosystem.
