IX Lviv International Economic Forum

During the IX Lviv International Economic Forum www.economicforum.com.ua Lviv academic institutions and research centers presented innovative projects (B2B). In general, scientists of Ivan Franko Lviv National university, the NAS Ukraine Institute of Cellular Biology, and the Lviv Polytechnic National University presented 14 projects to representatives of IT-companies, as well as international and foreign investment funds. 

Innovative projects from different scientific fields, that were presented during the section “Innovations as a foundation for regional competitiveness: IT and R&D” on October 2, 2009, may be widely used in medicine, the oil-producing industry, environmental monitoring, nuclear physics, services, etc. According to those participating in this section, the projects presented are a testament to the high level of modern biotechnology and nanosystems development in Ukraine, but its potential is still not being used to its full extent by businesses.   

The following projects piqued the interest of businesses and investment fund representatives:  

  • phytorectification (with the help of transplanting certain plants)  of oil-contaminated soils (department of plant physiology, Biological faculty of Ivan Franko Lviv National university); 
  • potential for computer modeling in determining the flexibility and durability of thin-walled structures, and the evolution processes of sickness in a human organism (department of applied mathematics and information science of Ivan Franko Lviv National university); 
  • use of nanotechnology for the treatment of diabetes and destruction of dead cells in the human body, for the production universal hydrogels, and for the treatment of oncological diseases and diagnostics (department of biochemistry, Biological faculty of Ivan Franko Lviv National university; NAS Ukraine Institute of cellular biology; department of organic chemistry of National University “Lviv Polytechnic”)
  • technology of Internet database content monitoring according to evaluative opinions (information systems and network department of the Lviv Polytechnic National University)
  • the use of energy-saving technology for self-contained power supply based on flexible solar batteries (“ATSER” Ltd., National University “Lviv polytechnic”) etc.
