This year, we received 413 applications from 15-17-year-olds — and this is a strong one: young people are eager to learn, grow, and take their first steps in their own projects today.
Together with the team of Ideas Center UCU and graduates of IdeasLab, we conducted 50 interviews to choose the 30 most motivated participants from all over Ukraine.
Geography is impressive: applications came from almost 24 regions – from large cities to small communities.
This generation is curious, brave and responsible. They’re not waiting for better conditions – they’re already acting.
Programs like Venture Camp give young people the opportunity to:
acquire practical entrepreneurial skills
work with mentors and experts
learn teamwork and presentation of ideas
find a community of like minded people
take the first steps to your own project
We are pleased that there is a growing demand for quality youth entrepreneurship education in Ukraine, and that parents, teachers and mentors support young people along the way 
In just a few years, these teens could be standing on the stages of Big Accelerator — and we’re proud to have been there for them to start their formation.

There, we gathered insights on geography, topics of ideas, and what really worries young people today.
Thank you to everyone who trusts us with their children, their time and their expertise 
Together we form a community of future Ukrainian entrepreneurs who will act bravely and responsibly.
