Pitching participants presented their projects and developments to potential investors.
Ekaterina Davydochkina, Deputy Director of the Strategy and M&A Department, noted that Sitronics Group, as one of the university venture funds, is interested in high-tech projects in areas complementary to business. For example, these are projects and DeepTech startups in the field of space and aerospace technologies. The company specializes in creating digital products for various sectors of the economy.
