Today, on 5 February 2025, we celebrate a landmark event - the 120th anniversary of the foundation of ESC "Tairov Institute of Industrial Design and Technology" !

This is not just an anniversary, but a majestic milestone that symbolises a century-long commitment to science, tradition and the relentless search for new solutions for the development of viticulture and winemaking in Ukraine.

Over the years, the Institute has become a true intellectual centre of the industry, laying the groundwork for unique grape varieties and innovative growing and winemaking technologies.

Its contribution to the development of agricultural science cannot be overestimated, as it is here that the future of Ukrainian grapes - a symbol of fertility, labour and exquisite taste - is being created.

Today, the Institute is a powerful centre of knowledge and excellence, with a close-knit, highly professional team full of inspiration and faith in the future.

This team is led by a wise and progressive leader, *Iryna Kovaleva*, who preserves the best traditions of the institution and at the same time opens up new horizons for it. Her leadership, foresight and commitment to change make us confident that the Institute will continue to be a leader in viticulture and winemaking.

On the occasion of this remarkable date, we express our sincere gratitude to all those who have created the history of the Institute at different times! May your discoveries become a solid foundation for the development of the industry, and may the Ukrainian wine born of your labour gain worldwide recognition!

Good health, inspiration and new scientific achievements!

Happy anniversary!

Best regards, Alla Stoyanova
