Beetroot Academy is a Swedish-Ukrainian academy that has been training specialists in partnership with the market since 2014. The academy’s activities were a response to the consequences of the war: using education as a tool for recovery, the academy helps people build new careers. The Defense Tech direction grew out of the same logic: the market needed engineers, and a program was created to meet this demand.
