Civitta, the organizer of the Challenger Accelerator, has partnered with the EdTech Ukraine Association to boost Ukrainian-founded startups shaping the future of education.
Thе partnership creates a powerful launchpad for EdTech startups — offering mentorship from industry leaders, strategic partnership opportunities, investor readiness support, and access to a vibrant community through exclusive networking and growth events.
“We see how rapidly the EdTech sector is growing in Ukraine, and we want to help these teams accelerate their journey toward building sustainable, impactful businesses. Together with the EdTech Ukraine Association, we aim to strengthen expert guidance and mentorship support for startups driving innovation in this field,”— said Olena Shershun, Program Manager at Challenger Accelerator.
“Ukraine’s EdTech sector is a hidden gem — full of creative, forward-thinking companies developing solutions that are highly relevant for both Ukraine and Europe. Yet, it still lacks a unified voice to amplify its potential. Now is the time to empower this community and build a collective movement that will be heard both nationally and globally. We went through acceleration with Challenger in the second batch and gained valuable knowledge, opportunities, connections, and partnerships. We're sure this new partnership will help our members grow faster, attract investors, and scale internationally,” — said Nataliya Lymonova, Head of EdTech Ukraine Association and Founder of GIOS.
