On January 23, 2026, Kyiv hosted the Second National Forum for Talented Youth, organized by the Fund of the President of Ukraine for Education, Science and Sports. BGV Group Management, including the BGV Charitable Foundation, partnered with the event, which highlighted youth achievements, facilitated experience sharing, and contributed to shaping a vision for developing Ukraine’s human potential.

“For BGV, education, science, and innovation aren’t just image-building activities; they’re a strategic priority. These young men and women will soon be making decisions, developing new technologies, driving economic growth, and representing Ukraine on the global stage,” said Viktor Ievdokymov, Managing Director of the Education, Science, and Innovation.

The forum gathered more than 600 participants and featured an award ceremony honoring winners of international and national Olympiads, the Robotics Olympiad, and outstanding students who achieved top results in the national multi-subject test. The event also placed special emphasis on developing the sports and leadership potential of young Ukrainians.

Young participants were recognized with awards in seven categories: “Science of Victory,” “Code of the Future,” “Architects of Statehood,” “Power of the Word,” “Noosphere Breakthrough,” “Will of the Winners,” and “Power of the Universe.”

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky also personally presented honorary awards to 40 young scientists for their achievements in physics, chemistry, digital technologies, innovation, economics, medicine, ecology, and construction.

American University Kyiv and Zhytomyr Polytechnic National University also took part in the forum, showcasing their educational programs for talented youth at dedicated stands. BGV Group systematically supports these institutions through scholarship initiatives and the development of specific academic and scientific fields.
