An international initiative led by the Ukrainian National Office for Intellectual Property and Innovations (UANIPIO) together with Royal Holloway, University of London is underway.
This is more than a project – it is an open-innovation programme that connects government, business, academia and civil society to turn ideas, R&D and IP into deployable solutions for Ukraine’s recovery. It strengthens capacity, aligns practices with European standards, and builds the cross-sector collaboration Ukraine needs for reconstruction and long-term growth.
Together we aim to:
- embed open-innovation practices across sectors (partner discovery, challenge-driven calls, pre-competitive collaboration);
- accelerate technology transfer and scaling via shared data rooms, interoperability standards and lightweight IP frameworks;
- reduce time-to-impact through reusable methods, case libraries and open toolkits;
- align with EU-oriented innovation management (open science, open standards, responsible data, innovation-friendly procurement);
- grow a national community of OI mentors able to deliver measurable results on the ground.
What the partnership delivers
- A concise Open Innovation Practical toolkit that de-risk collaboration and help teams find partners, share assets, and scale solutions.
- An applied learning program (podcasts, cases, templates) focused on real needs of the economy.
- A series of in-person workshops to build hands-on skills and forge cross-sector partnerships.
Open innovation workshops: registration is now live
As part of the initiative, we’re hosting in-person workshops to introduce the tools and forge new partnerships. Same agenda across all three dates (Kyiv-city: 23/24 Oct; Lviv: 30 Oct) – register today, it will be practical and engaging, and places are limited.
