On November 4, Parkovy Congress and Exhibition Center hosted WINWIN Summit 2025: The Power of Innovations — an event focused on strengthening Ukraine’s innovation capacity. The forum brought together representatives of government, business, science, education, and international institutions to align joint actions toward building a next-generation tech economy.
The event ran across several Parkovy venues in parallel.
Park Hall
Event Hall was one of the summit’s central venues. Organizers set up a stage and theater-style seating to host panel discussions, keynotes, interviews, and presentations on topics such as:
- Innovation as a Strategy: Ukraine’s Path to Economic Resilience
- The Power of Innovation: How Resilient and Prosperous Countries Are Built
- Ukraine’s AI Vision: Building an Agentic State
- Ukraine’s Role in the Global Semiconductor Industry, and more.
A core idea of WINWIN Summit 2025 was positioning AI as a national and economic strategy. The summit presented the first results of the WINWIN Innovation Strategy, as well as a draft AI Development Strategy outlining Ukraine’s ambition to move toward the top three global leaders in AI.
The
Big Exhibition Hall (2,000 sq. m) became the heart of the summit, hosting a series of expert talks featuring, among others:
- Mykhailo Fedorov, First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine, Minister of Digital Transformation
- Mariia Shevchuk, Executive Director, IT Ukraine Association
- Charlotte Suren, Deputy Head of Mission, British Embassy in Kyiv
- Ebba Busch (online), Minister for Energy, Business and Industry and Deputy Prime Minister of Sweden
- Roman Syoda, Director of Corporate Business in Central and Eastern Europe, NVIDIA
- Audrey Herblin-Stoop, Vice President, Global Public Policy & Communications, Mistral AI
- Anna Makanju, Vice President of Global Impact, OpenAI
- and many others.
Parkovy’s unique layout enabled multiple key activities to run simultaneously, while helping guests navigate quickly and attend all essential sessions.
An expo zone featured stands from Mastercard, N-iX, Ukrsibbank, Softbook, 3D Metal Tech, Esper Bionics, Melt Water, Wantent, CheckEye, and many other partners.
Organizers created a large-scale setup:
- a main stage with a large screen as the central focal point,
- theater-style seating plus lounge zones for 400+ attendees,
- vertical column-mounted screens (“size-to-size”) with live streaming and the event’s branding.
The Big Exhibition Hall proved ideal for expo formats: booths were placed along the perimeter while the center remained open for smooth movement and networking. For organizers, this also meant efficient logistics — a convenient technical entrance and loading area, plus the ability to zone a large space for multiple scenarios within a single day.
During WINWIN Summit 2025, several key announcements and agreements related directly to AI development in Ukraine were made:
- Partnership with NVIDIA: the launch of an AI hub in Ukraine, development of an AI Center of Excellence, and the intention to open the first AI Factory.
- Joint work with Kyivstar on the first national large language model (LLM).
- Expanded cooperation with ElevenLabs as a practical step in growing the AI ecosystem.
Global tech players were also engaged, including OpenAI, Mistral AI, Microsoft, Cisco, ElevenLabs, and NVIDIA.
Nearby, in the
Small Exhibition Hall across the corridor, the Global Government Technology Centre in Kyiv together with the WINWIN AI Centre of Excellence hosted a roundtable, “Artificial Intelligence in the Digital State of the Future,” where experts from government and business discussed AI’s role in transforming public administration.
The space featured long discussion tables, bold banners, and theater-style seating for the audience.
The event was organized by the IT Ukraine Association with the support of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.
Parkovy Team thanks the organizers for consistently choosing our venue for shaping the steps that define Ukraine’s future.
See you again soon!
