🧑‍🔬 On November 25-28, 2022, Vacuum Deep Tech Acceleration together with the Ukrainian Startup Fund and EIT RawMaterials with the support of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine held the first hackathon in Ukraine with a focus on mineral and metallurgical processes for sustainable development. 🔍

🔹 Critical HydroMinerals Calculator and Evaluation and ranking of zircon-ilmenite placers received grants from the Geological Investment Group in the amount of $1,000. 💰

🏆 Critical HydroMinerals Calculator (CHydroMC) – the idea is to develop software for calculating and evaluating mineral extraction projects from associated reservoir waters of oil fields.
🏆 Evaluation and ranking of zircon-ilmenite placers – the idea of the research is to carry out, according to the author’s methodology, a rating geological and comparative assessment of placer deposits of titanium-zirconium ores that are not developed, on the basis of further study, rethinking of the actual material in order to select the most promising objects for their effective development in modern market conditions.

🙌 The project was implemented by Vacuum in cooperation with Taras Shevchenko Kyiv National University, European Business Association, DTEK Oil&Gas – DTEK Naftogaz, ReThink, greencubator, Geological Investment Group, National Association of Mining Industry of Ukraine, UNIT.City
