Ivan Vekirchyk, co-owner of KNESS, at the business forum: “Trends of 2026. Business & Technology for Growth” — a space for solutions and strategies. Leading entrepreneurs, managers, and experts discussed conditions for growth, security, and entering new markets, sharing their experiences, sincere conclusions, and plans for the coming year 2026.
In his speech, Ivan Vekirchyk emphasized the key innovative solutions that KNESS has fulfilled this year. These include the implementation of one of Ukraine’s largest pools of energy storage projects, the creation of an Aggregated Group, the launch of new business models for electricity supply to industrial consumers, and more.
Among other things, the co-founder of KNESS shared the achievements in integrating AI into the company’s business processes. He also noted that the team has begun to actively use AI tools to optimize routine tasks. While a few years ago, the company encouraged the use of AI, now employees have taken the initiative themselves. Teams independently come up with the requests and collaborate with the AI integration department, creating solutions for their specific tasks and automating “uninteresting” areas.
International dialogue became a separate important vector of the forum. In particular, there was a discussion with Alisher Kurmanov, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Uzbekistan to Ukraine. The prospects for economic cooperation, new opportunities for Ukrainian companies, and the potential for business scaling were discussed.
We would like to thank the organizers and participants for the powerful networking and exchange of experiences!
