Five Ukrainians have been featured in this year’s Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list, which celebrates young visionaries reshaping key industries. We are incredibly proud to announce that among Europe’s most influential innovators are Diia.City United residents — the founders of Pleso Therapy and HIMERA.
This year, in the Science & Healthcare category, Ukraine is represented by 27-year-old Oleksandr Bondarev, 25-year-old Vitalii Marchenko, and 26-year-old Oleksii Yakubenko, founders of the online platform Pleso Therapy. This unique project uses artificial intelligence to help people find the right psychotherapist and improve their mental health efficiently. Notably, they are the only founders of a business with a clearly defined Ukrainian background in this category since the list’s inception over 10 years ago.
Joining them in the Forbes Europe ranking are the developers behind HIMERA, a Ukrainian manufacturer of tactical communication systems. Their solutions are already proving the global competitiveness of domestic defense-tech, providing reliable and secure communication in the most challenging environments.
The inclusion of Diia.City United members in this prestigious ranking highlights the resilience and power of Ukrainian technology. From innovations in HealthTech to cutting-edge Defence Tech solutions, Ukrainian startups are doing more than just optimizing processes — they are saving lives.
