Wow! It's great that our startups get this kind of support. I was especially interested in eXtra Vision. Can you imagine how this can help doctors in diagnosis? 🏥
Marcin
I agree, Oleksandra! And I was more interested in GrAI. As an amateur musician, I would love to try something like this to promote my tracks. Wondering how effective it works? 🎵

A web fence sounds very interesting! I work in an IT company and we always need talented designers. Such a resource can become a great platform for finding new personnel. 💼
Giovanni
And I was interested in Brainfor. I have been looking for an effective way to learn English for a long time. 5000 words in 100 hours sounds almost impossible, but I would try! 📚
Hans
Ba! All these startups are just a waste of money. Artificial intelligence, 3D models, self-coaching... Nothing new! In my time, we studied without all these tricks and were happy. 😒
Oleksandra
Hans, I understand your skepticism, but technology can really make life easier. For example, eXtra Vision can speed up diagnosis and save lives! Isn't it worth the investment? 🤔
Pierre
I agree with Oleksandra. By the way, ALFYLANG seems very promising for the educational field. As a teacher, I would be happy to use such a tool to personalize learning. This can greatly increase the effectiveness of education! 🎓
Maria
And I like the variety of projects! From medicine to music and education. This shows how multifaceted the Ukrainian startup scene is. I hope these grants will help them enter the international market! 🌍💪
