Bonzai AI Contributes to EU-Funded Seeds of Bravery Initiative for Ukrainian Tech Startups

Yesterday, Bonzai AI CEO Olia Stasiuk had the privilege of contributing to Seeds of Bravery, a €20 million European Union-funded project under the European Innovation Council (EIC). This initiative is dedicated to supporting Ukrainian tech startups and bridging opportunities with the EU and beyond.

The discussion also explored expansion possibilities in Canada, bringing together key contributors, including Plug and Play Tech Center, DMZ, Mitacs, IRAP, Trade Commissioner Service, and many more.

Key Workshop Topics:

✅ Market Overview & Opportunities
✅ State & Local Support, Regulations & Incentives
✅ University & Research Collaborations
✅ Investment & Funding Landscape

During the panel, Olia Stasiuk shared insights on real-world examples of government support that Bonzai AI received, along with strategic considerations for companies expanding to Canada—from choosing the right location and ecosystem to leveraging available funding and resources.

A huge thank you to Deniz Bilge, Oleksandr Romanko, Volodymyr Demianenko, and all the speakers for their expertise, and to Olga Shtepa for moderating with great questions! It’s exciting to see initiatives like this driving meaningful impact.
