On May 21, 2026, Diia.City United will host FutureTech MeetUp: AI First in Kyiv — a major event focused on artificial intelligence as a practical tool for business, product development, operational efficiency, and growth.
The conversation has moved beyond whether AI is coming. It is already reshaping products, services, decision-making, and competitive advantage. That is why this edition of FutureTech MeetUp will focus not on theory, but on practical experience from companies and leaders already integrating AI into the core of their products and business processes.
The agenda will focus on:
- practical AI use cases in business and product development
- AI in defence and govtech solutions
- unfiltered insights into where AI delivers real value and where human control still matters
- trends that are already changing the rules of the game for companies and teams
Among the speakers:
- Dmytro Sholomko, expert in digital transformation across media and business
- Vira Tkachenko, CTIO and Co-founder, MacPaw
- Stakh Vozniak, CEO and Co-founder, Cargofy
- Dmytro Voitekh, AI/ML Lead at Mriia, AI Advisor to the Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine
- Oleksii Molchanovskyi, Director of Innovation at UCU, Head of the Expert Committee on AI Development in Ukraine under the Ministry of Digital Transformation
