MBA student from Kyiv gets ‘Inventor’s badge’ at the finals of Mobile Innovators Tournament in Barcelona

A great success for our Executive MBA student in Kyiv, Mr. Oleksandr Pavlenko and his start-up, who excelled at the finals of Glovators 2016 Challenge in Barcelona and was awarded the ‘Inventor’s badge’.

The Global Mobile Innovators Tournament was created by IBM and 4YFN with the objective of empowering startup, entrepreneur and developer communities around high-end accelerating technology and best in class IT infrastructure. The Global Mobile Innovators Tournament recognises startups, entrepreneurs and developers around the world with the most brilliant ideas to transform businesses and industries as well as give customers a better experience.

At the finals in Barcelona Mr. Pavlenko introduced a strong AI concept and product that won him the Inventor Finalist status from IBM. His team presented a prototype of "stronger" AI system which has to decrease number of deaths on roads due to distracted driving issue. Together with IBM Mr Pavlenko and his team is working on polishing the technology and creating their own brain on top of it. Mr. Pavlenko’s start up has been contacted by serious investors (Samsung Capital, Allianz, Mazda, BMW and others) and is discussing potential partnerships.

Congratulations to Mr Pavlenko and his start-up! The International Faculty takes pride in his achievement.
