Deputy Director General of the International Exhibition Centre, Project Manager Ivan Tkachenko said this at a press conference at Ukrinform news agency. "INNOVATION MARKET is our attempt to show all the innovations, all the projects that we have in Ukraine. This includes the developments of the National Academy of Sciences, startup-projects, and the developments of various institutes and universities. We have come to the conclusion that we really have a lot of things to show, but, unfortunately, they are too often left on the shelves. Holding of such an event was initiated by the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the International Exhibition Center, the leading technical universities and the Education and Science Ministry of Ukraine," Tkachenko said.
