Description

The project is part of an urban development and comprises the design, renovation and construction of carefully selected sub-projects that are part of the innovation campus. The project includes the extension of a private non-profit IT training facility, multifunctional flexible floor space offering a variety of office accommodation, fablabs, communal and interaction spaces as well as seminar and meeting room spaces for events plus other supporting facilities and infrastructures. The variety of spaces and services aim to create and sustain an innovation eco-system that supports technology driven innovative companies and global market leaders to further strengthen and enhance the IT sector in Ukraine.
