TOMORROW — KALUSH EXPO® 2026: "Energy of Growth and Resilience!" 

ALLEY OF INNOVATION AND VET EDUCATION

Innovation doesn't just happen in high-tech laboratories or corporate R&D centers—often, the first applied engineering solutions are born right in student workshops when young talents grapple with real-world industrial challenges.

At KALUSH EXPO® 2026, the main expo area will feature a dedicated Alley of Innovation and VET Education, showcasing applied engineering solutions, technological prototypes, and practical startups created by students and researchers from:
  • Ivano-Frankivsk National Technical University of Oil and Gas (IFNTUNG)
  • Higher Vocational School No. 7 of Kalush
  • Higher Vocational School No. 21 of Ivano-Frankivsk
  • Kalush Polytechnic Professional College
Student Project Competition & Awards:

The event will culminate in an official awards ceremony recognizing the top student engineering innovations. Projects will be rigorously evaluated by an expert jury of industrial leaders:
  • Jury Chair: Oleh Hoshko — Director, RIO-Trans PE
  • Jury Member: Kostyantyn Homan — CTO, TECHNOLOGY MOVEMENT LLC
  • Jury Member: Ruslan Lototskyi — Chief Engineer, IMPERATYV Plant LLC
Based on technical evaluation, the jury will select 4 outstanding projects, whose student authors will receive prize certificates and recognition.

For KALUSH EXPO®, this initiative forms another practical bridge connecting education, applied science, and manufacturing—transforming student concepts into potential industrial implementations.

See you tomorrow at KALUSH EXPO® 2026: "Energy of Growth and Resilience!"
