The Ukrainian National Office for Intellectual Property and Innovations, with the support of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, has launched a free training programme focused on innovations in the agricultural sector. Often, strong ideas struggle to reach the market due to a lack of business expertise. Therefore, Lab2Market AgroTech targets innovators who aim to transform agriculture but need structured guidance to commercialise their solutions.
Moreover, Lab2Market AgroTech functions as an adapted entrepreneurial training programme that actively reduces risks and shortens the time needed to bring agricultural technologies to market. It achieves this goal by connecting the academic community with business practitioners and investors.
What participants will gain in two months
- firstly, hands-on mentoring from experienced market experts;
- secondly, practical support in building a viable and scalable business model;
- finally, pitching and presentation skills tailored for communication with investors.
Importantly, participation in the programme is free of charge. However, due to the intensive format, the number of available places remains limited.
Key dates
Programme start: 24 February 2026;
Application deadline: 17 February 2026.
