The national selection for IOAI Ukraine has officially launched — part of the global initiative International Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence. It offers high school students and college students aged 14–20 the opportunity to enter the world of the global AI elite and represent Ukraine on the international stage. The official organizer in Ukraine is A+ Education Holding, with KAN Development as the strategic partner. Together, they are shaping a new model of collaboration between education and business, where investments are directed not only toward infrastructure, but also toward developing intellectual capital. More than 2,300 students from all regions of Ukraine have already joined the 2026 selection. After three online rounds, the TOP 50 participants will receive additional training and mentorship from AI practitioners. Eight finalists will represent Ukraine at the world final in Abu Dhabi, one of the leading global centers of technological innovation. IOAI Ukraine is a space where young people work with machine learning, algorithms, and real AI cases similar to those tackled by leading technology companies worldwide. It is an ecosystem preparing a new generation of researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs — and KAN Development is proud to be its partner.
