In 2024, the entrepreneurship development program BizCamp-2024 was successfully completed by 19 teams from across Ukraine, who then participated in the National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge held on September 6 in Kyiv. The NYEC jury selected three winning teams to represent Ukraine at the global final:
- OUTEX — a sports and rehabilitation app;
- PhAInix — a system for drone communication protocol switching during flight;
- Bear Band — a technological complex that non-invasively monitors human health.
Due to Bear Band’s inability to participate, the next highest-ranked team according to the final standings — EcoMind (a project improving waste sorting processes using neural networks) — took their place in the trip to New York for the World Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge.
On November 22, OUTEX successfully represented Ukraine at the international youth entrepreneurship competition final, held at the New York Stock Exchange.
