Vladyslav Zaplitnyi, a student of Kharkiv Polytechnic, became the only representative from Ukraine who won the right to participate in the final of the prestigious global competition in information and communication technologies – Huawei ICT Competition 2024-2025. In February-March of this year, this talented first year student of the Department of Software Engineering and Management Intelligent Technologies of NTU «KhPI» showed the best result at the National stage of this competition. In China, where the tournament will be held in May 2025, Vladyslav will be supported at the competition by Volodymyr Sokol, associate professor of the same department and head of the Innovation Campus of NTU «KhPI». Two more students of NTU «KhPI»: Yuriy Kunets and Yegor Kopylov were selected to participate in the Regional stage of this competition (Europe).
During February-March 2025, students of the Department of Software Engineering and Management Intelligent Technologies of the Educational and Scientifical Institute of Computer Science and Information Technologies (SEMIT) of NTU «KhPI», participants of the Innovation Campus program of NTU «KhPI», took part in the prestigious international competition Huawei ICT Competition 2024-2025. This became possible due to the fact that National Technical University «KhPI» joined Huawei ICT Academy.
Having successfully overcome the National stage of the competition, three students of Kharkiv Polytechnic were selected to participate in the Regional stage of Huawei ICT Competition 2024-2025 (Europe). Yuriy Kunets and Yegor Kopylov competed in the Computing field, and Vladyslav Zaplitnyi competed in the Cloud field. A real breakthrough was the result of NTU «KhPI» student Vladyslav Zaplitnyi: as part of an international team that also included students from Ukraine and Poland, he was selected to participate in the Global Stage of the Huawei ICT Competition 2024-2025, which will be held from 20 to 24 May in Shenzhen (China). Vladyslav will represent not only NTU «KhPI» but also the whole of Ukraine at this prestigious world competition!
As Huawei invites not only students but also faculty mentors to participate in the Global Stage, Volodymyr Sokol, an associate professor at the SEMIT department, will travel to China – he is the head of the laboratory and the Innovation Campus study trajectory of NTU «KhPI», where Vladyslav is studying. Volodymyr Sokol will accompany Vladyslav as a mentor and university representative, supporting the student at all stages of the competition.
