A first noncommercial IT project incubator entitled "1991 Open Data
Incubator" was launched in Ukraine with support of the Ukrainian
government, the information and communications department of the Cabinet of
Ministers of Ukraine has reported.
The government said that the incubator will work with
projects based on open public data.
"The project is intended to digitize
agribusiness, energy, infrastructure projects, public services for citizens and
create internal analytical systems in the state, establishing cooperation of IT
designers, nongovernmental organizations and analytical centers with authorities,"
the department said.

the hackathon tenders scheduled for February 6. Projects that want to create a
startup using open databases for agriculture, energy and infrastructure,
projects on designing of electronic public services on the basis of state
registers, analytical systems for ministries, regional administration and city
halls can take part in the tender. Bids can be submitted from Smart City
projects for Ukrainian cities.
