The key practical component of the forum was the IT startup competition involving youth, academic, and business teams in the field of AI and digital services.
The competition was held in two rounds in English. The first round was evaluated by Oleh Kosmyna (Rotary Club “Lviv-RATUSHA”), Dan Zaharia (Past President at Rotary IASI Curtea Domneasca, Founder at Fab Lab Iasi, Co-founder at Digital Stack, Studies at Facultatea de Informatica, Universitatea “Alexandru Ioan Cuza”, Iasi), Olga Paliychuk, Volodymyr Starosta (Assistant Governor, serial entrepreneur), and Heorhiy Zvirid (Past President of Rotary Chernivtsi, startup competition coordinator, Saga Soft LLC). The event was moderated by Prof. Yuriy Ushenko, Head of the Department of Computer Science and Director of the “International Center for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence.”
Four projects (DogMate, MoodFlow, Polyglot, and Secret Garden) were selected for the second round, which were evaluated and reviewed by Pete Bosch (Rotary District 6270 Immediate Past District Governor, Expert simulation and modeling engineer, USA). The competition results are as follows: 1st place was taken by the DogMate team, 2nd place – MoodFlow mood tracker team, 3rd place – Polyglot and Secret Garden teams.
