The event began with a speech by Violaine Champetier de Ribes as President of CAdFE, followed by Alice Järvet, representative of the NGO Hands For Ukraine, who showed a video summarizing the work carried out by Hands For Ukraine over the past 18 months to help rehouse Ukrainian refugee women and their children.
FICE President Peter Thomsen also gave a speech, followed by Jean-Marc Salsa, CAdFE board member and secretary, who introduced the VIVITA company, which had made its premises available for the event.

The first candidate to present her project is Olena Bezsmertna.
Based on a language-learning technique called Mnemo25, Olena Bezsmertna’s business project is based on the creation of an online language-learning platform.
The languages available for learning would be the most widely spoken in the European Union, as well as Estonian.
This is a “passive” learning technique, which involves watching a video containing numerous vocabulary words and their translations, scrolling at high speed.

The second candidate to present her project was Anna Lytvyn , accompanied by her partner, Maryna.
The business project presented is Fruitikia business selling healthy snacks made from dried produce.
Together with her partner, they make their own snacks from fruit, vegetables and meat, with the aim of offering healthy, pleasant-to-eat products that fit perfectly into a balanced diet.
Highly committed to the Ukrainian cause, they intend to donate 40% of the profits generated during the first months of the business to the Ukrainian army.
Today, faced with strong demand, their main obstacle is the lack of space in their current premises and the lack of additional machinery and tools to meet it.

The third candidate, Anna Pozdniakova, presented a project for a digital marketing agency for influencers.
With her in-depth knowledge of the Baltic influencer scene, Anna Pozdniakova would like to offer a service connecting Baltic companies with European influencers.
The aim is to offer companies the opportunity to work with the influencers who have the most suitable audience in terms of size or interests, in order to enhance the value of the product or service for sale.
On the influencer side, the agency would guarantee a simple and secure experience (protection against unpaid contracts, or contracts asking for the promotion of illegal or fraudulent products) while carrying out the contract research for them, enabling influencers to devote more time to content creation.

Finally, the fourth candidate to present her project is Halyna Proode, with Hallinn Cake.
Hallinn Cake is a business selling healthy and vegan cakes, without gluten, lactose or artificial coloring.
Fitting in perfectly with the diets that are all the rage at the moment, such as the Paleo or Keto diet, Hallinn Cake cakes are a great way to enjoy sweet desserts without damaging your health.
Halyna Proode makes her cakes herself, and has also taken courses to master such recipes, as well as learning photography to showcase her work.
