Description
The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv invites proposals from U.S. and Ukrainian not-for-profit organizations for the America House Innovation and Tech Lab, a program designed to strengthen U.S.–Ukraine cooperation in innovation, technology, and creative industries during Ukraine's critical economic recovery period. This Freedom 250 initiative will connect Ukrainian startups, technology leaders, creative entrepreneurs, and emerging innovators with U.S. expertise, companies, and innovation ecosystems to expand opportunities for U.S. partnerships and increase engagement with American organizations, while supporting Ukraine's economic competitiveness and integration with U.S. markets and standards on the occasion of America’s 250th anniversary and beyond.
The Lab will provide practical training, real-world U.S. market exposure, and sustained partnerships to help Ukrainian innovators scale to the U.S., partner with American companies, establish U.S.-based operations, and become part of the American innovation ecosystem.
Through thematic lectures, workshops, mentorship, networking events, and investor engagement delivered via the Embassy's American Spaces network, participants will develop skills related to U.S. market entry, investment readiness, and strategic communication while building connections with American companies, investors, and accelerators, strengthening long-term U.S.–Ukraine economic and technological cooperation.
This program is part of the America House Business Impact Series. All proposals must include programming at two to three American Spaces, including the America Houses in Kyiv, Lviv, and Odesa, and/or the Windows on America.
