How the SpaceTech Bootcamp: Reimagine Ukraine Program Went

Even in challenging times, true support lies in planning—how to rebuild the country, restore resources, and help it become a market leader in the future world. With these thoughts in mind, we held the SpaceTech Bootcamp: Reimagine Ukraine—a four-day ideathon focused on restoring Ukraine’s resources through satellite data analysis, AI, and ML.

A total of 86 participants joined the bootcamp, and six teams were able to present their final projects with initial prototypes.

Introducing the teams:

→ Sky Dream—A project aimed at creating a solution using GIS systems for analyzing and visually displaying data about fields, rivers, and forests. The solution is designed to accelerate decision-making in logistics, procurement of consumables, fertilizers, seeds, and maximizing crop yields.

→ Damage Detectors—A project aiming to create a geospatial layer of dairy farm locations across Ukraine by searching for them in satellite imagery using computer vision. This is intended for use by milk processors, government agencies, united territorial community administrations, state environmental oversight bodies, and others.

→ Voyagers—An application that allows agricultural producers to monitor climate changes and make informed decisions for their businesses.

→ ID_AI—A project that began the bootcamp with a general idea of planning a distributed energy system using satellite and cartographic data. They secured a client—the community of Slavutych—and developed a precise solution tailored to their location and needs, addressing the prioritization of solar power plant placements based on the data obtained.

→ Solar Cats—A project focused on creating analysis and a foundation for software that will perform functions such as collecting and processing necessary data, calculating and visualizing intermediate stages, and creating an interactive map that displays territories according to specified filters.

→ SpaceTech—A project intended to diversify energy supply sources through solar power generation. The project resulted in the development of a predictive model that accurately estimates future energy generation volumes from solar panels.

The winners were three teams:

→ ID_AI won the opportunity to complete a micro-master’s program from SET University.

→ Solar Cats won the chance to continue working on their project with our partners at Open Data Accelerator, where they can compete for a grant fund of over 5,800,000 UAH.

→Damage Detectors won two months of free access to the platform of our partners—EOS Data Analytics.

SpaceTech Bootcamp: Reimagine Ukraine brought together talented and motivated specialists to create truly important projects using satellite data.

We thank our partners from the Ukraine-Moldova American Enterprise Fund, thanks to whom the event transformed from an idea into a successful happening. We also thank the jury members Anton Vashchuk, Denys Gursky, and Volodymyr Kyryliuk for their valuable feedback to the participants. And we thank all the participants of the program—with you, our future is in reliable hands!
