Aleksandr Konotopskyi: “Kyiv is brilliant because of its numerous creative people: engineers, developers, designers, marketing specialists, etc. On the other hand, it’s a good place to have a factory as labour cost is reasonable, and you can find quite a lot of manufacturing specialists here. Besides, this is in Europe. If you ask me whether I would change the place for my business if I had a chance, the answer is no. Kyiv is one of the reasons why our business reached its current high stage.”
