On October 22-23, 2025, Kyiv hosted the main event for Ukrainian agri-food business leaders — New Food Summit 2025, which traditionally brings together hundreds of innovators, producers, investors, and experts from across the entire “farm-to-table” chain. This year, the summit became a real platform for demonstrating breakthrough solutions in the field of food technology, where the key topic was the transformation of the agri-food industry through knowledge, innovation, and cooperation.
Education as a driver of progress: AgriAcademy among the summit participants
The educational platform AgriAcademy.org attracted particular attention. It is a free online learning platform created on the initiative of the EBRD as part of its food security support program in Ukraine. Its goal is to strengthen the competitiveness and sustainable development of agriculture, which has suffered significant losses due to the war.
The platform’s creation and management (including course development, training tours, etc.) is supported and funded by the EBRD, as well as:
Representatives of the platform took part in the event, talked to summit participants, presented training opportunities and new courses, and shared their vision of how education is becoming a key component of the development of the Ukrainian agricultural sector.
Videos of leading Ukrainian companies and organizations, including AgriAcademy, were shown on screens in the conference areas, which sparked lively interest among participants. Many specialists in the agricultural and food sectors learned about the platform for the first time, which already offers more than three dozen certified courses in Ukrainian, created in collaboration with universities, companies, and industry associations.
AgriAcademy – the platform of the future of agricultural education
The initiative aims to strengthen the competitiveness of Ukrainian agribusiness and provide access to practical knowledge and modern technologies for farmers, students, teachers, advisors, and managers of agricultural companies. The platform covers topics ranging from production and processing to sustainable development, climate adaptation, precision farming, and innovations in animal husbandry.
“Today, education is the best investment in the sustainability and recovery of the Ukrainian agricultural sector. Our task is to make knowledge accessible to everyone who produces food,” said AgriAcademy representatives during informal discussions at the summit.
Breakthrough products as a result of knowledge and innovation
The New Food Summit culminated in the presentation of the “Breakthrough Product of the Year” awards, which were given to the most innovative Ukrainian developments in the field of “food of the future.” This year, the jury recognized:
These examples show how the combination of technology, entrepreneurship, and education is shaping the new face of Ukrainian food.
The AgriAcademy online platform has already become a space that brings together producers, scientists, experts, and students around a common goal: to create sustainable, innovative, and competitive agricultural production. The platform’s participation in the New Food Summit confirmed its role as a catalyst for knowledge and partnership among all participants in the agri-food ecosystem.
