    International initiative: UANIPIO & Royal Holloway, University of London to mobilize open innovation for Ukraine’s recovery

     

    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.
