Nova Ukraine in Davos 2025: Advancing Education and Innovation for Ukraine’s Future

Speakers at the Power of Innovation: Ukraine’s Key to the Future panel in Davos, Switzerland January 2025
Donate

Ukraine isn’t waiting for peace to build its future—it’s building it right now. This was how Nick Bilogorskiy, Nova Ukraine’s Founder, described the nation’s technological progress at “The Power of Innovation: Ukraine’s Key to the Future” panel in Davos, Switzerland, this January. The panel, co-hosted by Nova Ukraine and Razom for Ukraine, focused on how Ukraine’s resilience and creativity are driving global change. 

Nova Ukraine’s strategic vision has always been focused on education as a path to meaningful innovation. As Nick Bilogorskiy shared: “What fuels this progress is a strong foundation in tech education. I am myself a product of a Ukrainian math school, and at Nova Ukraine, we’ve recognized since 2014 that the flourishing nation relies on education. We’ve championed STEM initiatives to equip young Ukrainians with the tools to solve tomorrow’s problems. We are modernizing classrooms, publishing books, creating STEM resources, and bridging gaps in tech accessibility for women and veterans. The full-scale invasion has disrupted education, leaving two-thirds of children in front-line areas unable to attend school. To address this, Nova Ukraine partnered with the Ministry of Education to provide remote learning opportunities and deliver digital devices, ensuring children can continue learning despite the war.”

Ukraine’s innovation—in AI, drone technology, software, and countless other fields—doesn’t only support Ukrainians but provides unprecedented opportunities for the entire global community. Nova Ukraine remains committed to empowering these stories of innovation and determination as we continue building a stronger, more innovative Ukraine.

The panel connected Yaroslav Azhnyuk, Founder & CEO of TheFourthLaw.ai, ​Mariam Naiem, Independent Researcher & Author, and moderator Dora Chomiak, CEO of Razom for Ukraine, for this critical conversation. 

During the Davos events, Nova Ukraine was recognized with an appreciation award from our partner, Dobrobat, a volunteer reconstruction division. Nick Bilogorskiy received an honorable volunteer honor—a cross made from the debris of russian missiles targeting peaceful Ukrainian cities. We have partnered with Dobrobat to construct a bomb shelter capable of providing safety for approximately 1,300 students, allowing them to pursue their education with reduced danger from russian strikes. Through this infrastructure project, our ultimate goal is to provide students with the feeling of a traditional classroom environment without worries of air raids and evacuation protocols.

Donate. Impact. Change.

Planning, Not Reacting: Ukraine’s Rescuers and Nova Ukraine Prepare for Winter Side by Side

On the tenth floor of an apartment building on Kyiv's left bank last January, Svitlana could not bathe her three-year-old daughter, Arina, or cook her a hot meal. After strikes on the energy system, they had gone more than three days without heat or electricity, in temperatures as low as -18°C. So she wrapped Arina in layer after layer and took her down ten floors of a dark stairwell to a heated tent that Ukraine's State Emergency Service had set up outside. There they could warm up, eat something hot, charge a phone and talk with a psychologist. Millions of Ukrainian families lived some version of that winter. When the power goes out, heat and water often go with it, elevators stop, and anyone who depends on electricity for medical treatment is suddenly at risk. UNICEF, which documented families like Svitlana's, observed that darkness and freezing temperatures intensify fear and stress for children. For the rescuers of the State Emergency Service, known in Ukraine as DSNS, a winter like that changes the job. They still fight fires and search damaged buildings after attacks. But when power, heat, and water fail, they also put up warming tents, install generators, and help residents get through the outages. Last winter left them, and everyone working alongside them, with a plain lesson: the time to prepare for an emergency is before it happens. Ukraine Is Preparing Earlier This Winter

Scout Camps Help Develop the Leaders of Tomorrow

Nova Ukraine helps Ukraine's next generation build confidence and leadership skills through scholarships to Plast Ukraine and Motley Raccoons summer camps. The future of Ukraine will someday be in the hands of its children, who will soon be the leaders tasked with rebuilding their country. Nova Ukraine supports the development of these young members of society in multiple ways, including through several education initiatives such as this year’s Engineering Week, which reached more than 195,000 students in grades K-12. Just as important as developing their minds, however, is nurturing their spirits and ensuring that they enter adulthood with confidence, hope, and a deep appreciation for their homeland. That is where Nova Ukraine’s partnership with the outdoor leadership camps is playing a key role. This past summer, Nova Ukraine provided full-ride scholarships for 180 children to attend Plast Ukraine summer camps, where children ages 2-18 participated in outdoor adventures. They learned practical skills such as first aid, cooking over campfires, and navigating wilderness trails, and many gained experience leading their own squads.
