Ukrainian IT clusters: how the community works during the war

Ukraine has recently been called the “digital tiger” of Europe. According to a study by the IT Ukraine Association and Top Lead agency titled Digital Tiger: the Power of Ukrainian IT – 2023, Ukraine has more than 2,300 active IT companies, $14.06 billion in foreign exchange earnings, and UAH 68.1 billion in taxes in 2022-2023.

The reporter Dmytro Kazantsev prepared an article for Mezha.Media (a media site from a team of professional IT journalists) and asked Odesa IT Family for a comment.

“We have rebooted the system of educational initiatives in the region by launching a series of career guidance lectures, holding 4 science and technology conferences and 3 all-Ukrainian hackathons that supported more than 60 startup projects. We also launched two streams of English-speaking clubs for students and teachers, joined the IT Studios project of the Ministry of Digital Transformation and the Ministry of Education and Science, continuing to shoot video lessons for 4 million schoolchildren, and launched an Erasmus+ course on international integration and cooperation opportunities. In support of business, we have organized a series of IT Wave conferences where we discuss topical issues, and we have already planned the 10th anniversary conference,” said Kateryna Solovey, CEO of Odesa IT Family.
