The startup is developing technology that will automatically detect illegal logging using artificial intelligence and open data.
According to Ostap Yednak, a board member of the Ants Protection Network, the team received UAH 1.4 million from the total prize fund of UAH 3.7 million.
“We are jointly developing a system that will analyze free and paid satellite images with the help of a neural network for felling, and will compare the data for a permit for felling. Special expeditions and networks of active citizens, as well as the foresters themselves, will be able to check the facts of felling and conduct an investigation in time”, – Yednak said.
«Приховані інтереси»
«Приховані інтереси» — is a tool for identifying conflicts of interest among MPs.
The founder of the project, Yulia Grechka, personally faced parliamentary lobbying of interests. The decision in favor of their own companies or family enterprises is a common practice at all levels of government.

The «Приховані інтереси» project will contain the largest database of deputies of the entire country, as well as companies owned by deputies, their relatives or assistants. The site and the chatbot will help prevent possible corruption schemes and bring violators to justice.
