Project Background
A brand-new AI laboratory with 17 high-tech workstations is now open at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, creating new opportunities for AI-driven education and research.
UFTM is proud to have contributed to making this space possible, supporting the integration of AI into technical education alongside our partners at DataRoot Labs.
Our sincere thanks to all UFTM donors - your support helps turn ideas into real impact for students, researchers, and Ukraine’s innovation ecosystem.
This is another meaningful step toward a stronger, more resilient future.
UFTM launched the AI Space at the Physics and Mathematics Faculty of Kyiv Polytechnic Institute in December 2025. This fully equipped laboratory is the first step in a broader commitment to strengthening Ukraine's position in global technology and innovation, particularly as the country looks toward large-scale rebuilding and modernization.
