First Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of Economy Yulia Svyrydenko said that Ukraine plans to return 80% of potentially mined areas to use within 10 years. To this end, it is planned to stimulate the development of machinery and equipment production in Ukraine.

The teams of innovators presented their developments to the experts in the areas of demining equipment, integrated solutions, IT solutions, and surveys. Teams whose projects are recognized by experts as the most promising will be offered a four-month acceleration program.
