Pivdenny expands cooperation with Odesa universities through Academic Hub

Pivdenny Bank has signed a memorandum on academic and educational cooperation with the International University in Odesa. The memorandum was signed by the University’s Rector, Kostiantyn Hromovenko, and First Deputy Chair of the Management Board of Pivdenny Bank, Maksym Tsymbal.

The partnership will be developed as part of the corporate social initiative Academic Hub Pivdenny, which aims to connect university education with practical business experience and help students better understand the needs of today’s economy.

The memorandum provides for joint educational and academic events, lectures and the exchange of practical experience between University and Bank representatives. The parties also plan to expand opportunities for students to gain practical experience and involve business representatives in improving educational programmes.

Academic Hub Pivdenny has been operating for two and a half years in partnership with Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. In September 2026, the Bank signed memoranda of cooperation with Odesa National Economic University and I.I. Mechnikov Odesa National University. The partnership with the International University is the next step in expanding the initiative and supporting modern education.
