On April 20, 2016 Vasyl Myroshnychenko has shared with us his stories and insights on business networking at America House Kyiv. More than 40 participants attended the lecture. Vasyl has revealed his main rule of networking - meaningful activities with business and social communities. The lecture was featured with the main story about Vasyl's one-to-one breakfast with George Soros.

Nano to mimik the lotus leaf
• Hydrophobic coating such as Diamon-
Fusion®, applied on car windshields and side
glass, improves visibility during rainy
conditions over 30%, improving response time
by 25%, which translates into an invaluable
safety feature.
• NEW Diamon-Fusion® spray/wipe-on
coating
method of applying the patented Diamon-
Fusion® makes field applications more
effective (especially quicker and easier to
apply) and with far less equipment and
therefore equipment maintenance and the
quality is on a par with the DFI vapor method.
• This NEW method of application of DFI’s
nanotechnology also creates a cross-linked
and branched, capped silicone film, and the
bond is still a covalent bond (sharing
electrons with the glass itself). Like DFI’s
vapor method, but non-chlorinated, the chain
of atoms manipulated during this chemical
process is also done at nano-scale levels.

Discovery - 1802 – Humphrey Davy discovered that an electric current passing
through metal wire could give light.
Formulation of the Problem - 1878 – Edison, “
the electric light idea took possession of me
It was easy to see what the thing needed
It wanted to be subdivided
The light was too bright and too big.
What we wished for was little lights and a distribution of them in people’s houses in
a manner simillar to gas.”.
Patent – 1879 – demonstrated 40 h lifetime
Started Edison Electric Light Company
Key Idea – Only If electricity is distributed similar to gas, could the electric
bulb become economically attractive.
