2025–2026 – “Green Industrial Recovery Project for Ukraine through Technology Transfer and the Co-Creation of New Businesses with Japan’s Private Industries”, development partner: United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO).
- Conducting a feasibility study on the use of Imec® technology under the conditions of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Institute for Plant Variety Examination successfully fulfilled its obligations regarding the implementation of the first stage of the project by providing proper organizational, technical and informational support for the activities envisaged under the Agreement with Mebiol Inc. within the framework of the UNIDO grant agreement. In particular, UIPVE ensured the necessary conditions for the placement and operation of the greenhouse infrastructure, involvement of relevant personnel, support for the test cultivation of vegetable crops, record-keeping and observations of plant growth and development, as well as coordination of communication between the project participants.
Taking into account the positive results of the first stage of cooperation, UIPVE continues working on the expansion and extension of the project for 2027–2028, particularly in the direction of deepening cooperation with Mebiol Inc., scaling up the tested technological solutions, and further implementing innovative approaches to vegetable crop cultivation under the conditions of Ukraine.
