European Deep Tech Week in Paris

For Ukrainian technologies to become part of the European market, expertise alone is not enough. What also matters is being present where new connections are made and shared opportunities begin.

This is why WINSTARS.AI joined the trade mission to France during European Deep Tech Week in Paris. Our CEO, Dmitry Sofyna, took part in meetings and discussions as part of the Ukrainian delegation, alongside representatives of the Ukrainian Startup Fund, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, universities, and other members of the innovation ecosystem.

For us, this was about more than participation. It was about making sure Ukraine has a real place in the European deep tech conversation — through direct dialogue with the people shaping the innovation agenda, through new relationships, and through stronger positioning for Ukrainian companies in this space.

The agenda included meetings with representatives of the European Innovation Council, Île-de-France, the French and Estonian innovation ecosystems, as well as Airbus Ventures, Thales, and Safran.

These missions matter because they give Ukraine more than visibility. They open practical access to partnerships, programs, and new opportunities for cooperation.

We are grateful to our partners and organizers for making this possible.
