Peace Technology & Peace Entrepreneurship for Ukraine. 2022.
Peace Technology & Peace Entrepreneurship for Ukraine, organized by Color Up Peace and Demola at Tribe Tampere in the Platform6 Startup House in Tampere, Finland.
This initiative aimed at mobilizing technology and innovation enthusiasts of Tampere to use their talents to brainstorm solutions of restoring peace in Ukraine and rebuilding the country after the destruction caused by the full-scale war in 2022, as well as 8 preceding years of external aggression against Ukraine. We wanted to bring together participants from a variety of backgrounds: professionals, researchers, businesses, NGOs, students – both Finnish and Ukrainian, as well as Ukrainians who have relocated to Tampere since February 2022. Together, we explored and developed ideas for Finnish-Ukrainian partnerships in the spheres of technology and innovation to rebuild Ukraine along these themes:
- Education;
- Inclusive city infrastructures and good livelihoods;
- Women’s rights and gender equality.
Here you can read reflections on the event from the Demola Team (by Ida Riikonen).
