The Science & Business Acceleration program has been operating in Ukraine for two months, where 15 teams of scientists and entrepreneurs are learning to develop their startups. The goal of the program is to help innovative ideas turn into real businesses that work in the market.
Acceleration is a special training program for startups. Over the course of several months, participants receive advice from mentors, experts, and investors. They learn how to test their ideas, correctly form a business model, and find customers and partners. The teams also practice presenting their developments to investors in order to attract funding.

The program is organized by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Startup Fund, and international partners. They emphasize that such initiatives help support young entrepreneurs, promote economic development, and make Ukraine more competitive in the world.
The program will last several months and end in November. Then there will be a final presentation where startups will show their results to investors, companies, and potential partners.
