Everyone is striving to achieve the same goal – to free our country from the dangerous remnants of war. The event is important: it is acquaintance of operators with each other, and they also discuss issues such as training of sappers, development of the latest demining technologies, as well as controversial issues that have been raised and discussed here.

Dmytro Yurchuk

"Patron Demining"

The more such events are held with national operators, the more effective it will be when considering humanitarian demining and clearing Ukrainian land of explosive hazards. I found the information on the use of artificial intelligence in demining useful.

Myroslav Shchur

"Epicenter Safety"

The event was truly professional, bringing together all industry operators. The issues raised are relevant, timely and necessary to discuss and make joint decisions.

Yevhenii Rymarev

International Charitable Foundation "Big UA"

It is difficult to overestimate this conference, because it is a platform where you can synchronize the watches of mine action operators entering the market; exchange opinions, trends, and problematic issues. This is an important event, and its value is in the practical plane.

Andrii Kushnir

"Charitable Foundation for Anti-Mine Action"

At the moment, when the humanitarian demining market is being formed, there are painful issues that need to be discussed with specialists in this market. Everything is moving towards freeing our country from explosive hazards, and as the humanitarian demining market is being formed, more and more people will be involved.

Oleksandr Nechai

"Mellom Pro"

We are grateful to the Ukrainian Association of Humanitarian Demining, because it is thanks to such events that stakeholders involved in the market can get to know each other better, understand each other, and find out what problems and challenges exist. It is interesting to look at such a wide representative sample of operators, because this is such a highly specialized market that it is difficult to get acquainted with without such events.
