Where It Started
UAtech was founded in Canada in 2023 by Volodymyr Demianenko, growing out of the UATECH Canada community of Ukrainian founders.
Having launched multiple startups and projects himself, Volodymyr brought together similarly driven founders. Their first activities supporting Ukrainian entrepreneurs led to the creation of UATECH Canada as a nonprofit organisation.
That community initiative evolved into today’s UAtech programme. Now a nonprofit partner of TechEmbassy, a commercial event organisation, UAtech continues its mission through a dedicated Ukrainian founder track at participating TechEmbassy events.
