Ukraine Future Tech Minds
UFTM is a non-profit organization that empowers engineering education in Ukraine. We do so by supplementing traditional engineering education with an up-to-date curriculum and hands-on prototyping labs.
About us
At UFTM, we believe science and technology are essential for Ukraine’s immediate victory and long-term prosperity. Engineers are crucial for saving lives and ensuring lasting stability. Our mission is to bridge the gap between theory and practice, driving technological excellence to enhance Ukraine's security and infrastructure, and contributing to a stronger, more resilient nation.
MISSION
empower students by enhancing their practical engineering skills to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
VISION
launch a network of prototyping labs across Ukraine based on and in collaboration with technical universities.
IMMEDIATE GOAL
develop and integrate technical solutions that enhance critical areas of Ukraine's economic growth, including security and infrastructure.
UFTM builds on this legacy through three straightforward steps:
Practical engineering curriculum

Current projects
UFTM partners with prominent technical universities in Ukraine with BA, MA and PhD programs in Avionics, Space Engineering, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Radio Electronics, Mechanical Engineering and other majors.
At each campus, UFTM secures shared lab space and individual rooms on university’s premises, completes renovations and launches a full scale lab with relevant equipment and educational program around its deployment. The first project is already ongoing and is set to be completed by the end of 2024.
