Seven Ukrainian Startups Advancing AI, Energy, and Compliance

Ukraine's growing technology sector is producing a new wave of startups, demonstrating resilience and innovation in fields spanning artificial intelligence, energy storage, sustainable design, and enterprise services. Despite ongoing challenges, Ukrainian-founded companies are building products that not only serve domestic needs but also address international market demands.

Crosscheck

Crosscheck is a B2B software-as-a-service (SaaS) startup delivering an AI-driven platform to streamline compliance and audit preparation for organisations. The platform leverages artificial intelligence to collect, organise, and analyse documents and evidence, automating much of the process required for sustainability or certification audits. It supports standards such as ISCC and other international frameworks, helping companies minimise manual work, reduce errors, and enhance overall audit efficiency. The software provides auditors with tools to manage tasks, tailor checklists, and collaborate securely with clients.

FIZI

FIZI produces plant-based, sugar-free snack bars developed as healthier alternatives to conventional chocolate and protein bars. Their products—free from white sugar, lactose, and gluten—integrate functional ingredients like plant proteins and vitamins. Founded in 2022, FIZI has expanded their distribution from Ukraine to several European countries, including Poland, Spain, and Lithuania, as well as into Western Europe and the UAE.

Geodesic.Life

Geodesic.Life specializes in the design and construction of affordable and sustainable geodesic dome homes. Using materials such as cross-laminated timber, hemp-lime insulation, and clay plaster, the company aims to improve energy efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of residential buildings. The dome architecture minimizes external surface area, lowering heat loss and construction costs, while built-in CO₂ sensors and natural ventilation systems support indoor air quality.

Oh My Grant

Oh My Grant offers grant management services for organisations, startups, and research teams seeking funding—particularly from European and international programmes. The company guides clients throughout the grant application process, from developing initial project ideas to drafting and submitting proposals. Their expertise focuses on connecting clients with suitable opportunities and improving funding success rates, with experience across diverse sectors including deeptech, healthcare, agriculture, energy, and non-profits.

Marvilon

Marvilon manufactures the MARV-2EX, an industrial device designed to monitor dust particle concentrations in gas streams. The system’s optical sensing technology provides real-time, continuous readings—optimised for hazardous and explosive industrial environments. Unlike typical analyzers that target only gas composition, the MARV-2EX integrates specialised dust detection, supporting sectors like steel production and chemical manufacturing that need precise emission controls for compliance and operational optimisation.

SorbiForce

SorbiForce is developing a sustainable, metal-free battery technology as an alternative to traditional lithium-ion storage systems. Their approach utilises carbon from agricultural waste, salt, and water, resulting in batteries that are non-toxic, non-flammable, and largely biodegradable. SorbiForce batteries are intended for modular and industrial-scale use, aimed at renewable energy storage, grid management, and backup power applications. The technology addresses environmental and supply chain concerns by minimising the use of mined metals and prioritising recyclability.

TechNovator

TechNovator focuses on long-range wireless power transfer technologies. Unlike inductive charging pads that require close contact, TechNovator’s system is built to transmit energy efficiently over distances, eliminating cables. The solution targets uses spanning consumer electronics, smart homes, industrial robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT), with the long-term vision of establishing wireless charging infrastructure in everyday environments.

These Ukrainian startups demonstrate the country's strong technical talent and entrepreneurial drive, with several harnessing AI or advanced engineering for enterprise and industrial applications. Their expansion into European and global markets is indicative of Ukraine's accelerating role in shaping technological innovation.
