Sunflower Relief

 🌻 Sunflower Relief at Ukraine Tech Summit We were delighted to be part of the Ukraine Tech Summit, held in Westminster, London, as part of London Tech Week! With more than 200 attendees, the summit was a resounding success, showcasing the resilience and innovation of Ukraine’s tech community. 🇺🇦 A special highlight was the panel on investing in Ukraine’s innovative businesses, moderated by Ulyana Shtybel, Ph.D, CEO of Quoroom. The panel featured insightful contributions from Vfrom Viktor Gurskyi, Partner at 1991 Ventures; Bogdan Svyrydov, Investment Director at Horizon Capital; Andriy Dekhtyar, Founder and CEO of Rozdoum; and our very own Irra Ariella Khi, Zamna. and Sunflower Relief. 💬  Irra’s key points from the panel included: Ukrainians tackle significant challenges by developing infrastructure, deep tech, and R&D-based solutions for large-scale problems. Even without an established network or language proficiency, Ukrainians can secure funding by trusting the process over raw talent. Persistence is crucial – iterate and keep pushing forward, embracing the Ukrainian spirit of never giving up. VCs prioritise businesses that can deliver faster, better, and more cost-effective solutions for their clients. 💡 It was also fantastic to hear from Mike Butcher, MBE and Editor-at-large of TechCrunch, who highlighted the longstanding tech collaboration between the UK and Ukraine, and from Bindi Karia on the immense potential of UK <> Ukraine's startup ecosystem. We hope you enjoyed the event as much as we did and found it as inspiring and insightful. Let's continue to foster innovation and collaboration within the tech community. Stay tuned for more updates and opportunities to connect and grow together! #LondonTechWeek #UkraineTechSummit #TechInnovation #InvestmentOpportunities #StartupEcosystem #TechResilience
