Take a look at the case studies by participants:
Case study 1: KinoTabor
Vladimir Nagorny, producer of KinoTabor initiative: “Thanks to the TechUkraine’s matchmaking event, our cinema-theatre startup managed to get acquainted with two companies in the IT field, discuss prospects for cooperation, and find new opportunities.
Most importantly, we came up with ideas that would not have come to our minds without this networking.
Thanks to the mediation of TechUkraine, we believe that our horizons have expanded, and our opportunities have increased.”
Case study 2: Ukrainian Down Syndrome Organization
Yuliya Dmytrenko, manager of educational and cultural projects of Ukrainian Down Syndrome Organization: “We want to thank you for organizing such helpful matchmaking. As representatives of the social sphere implementing projects in various fields, including cultural, finding potential partners is quite tricky.
Thanks to your event, we talked and found common ground with companies such as:
1) Coreteca in their experience of creating online platforms.
2) Solution Mentors in their experience of creating document management software.
3) Daria Sedykh with her experience in software and technical specifications and calculations for digital projects.
4) IT-Enterprise in the area of creating databases.
So far, we have talked to some of them after the matchmaking and plan to return later for a more in-depth discussion of potential cooperation.”
Case Study 3: Corporation “FED”
Sergii Sokolov, CIO&CDTO at Joint-Stock Company “Corporation “FED”: “After the events related to the communication of mechanical engineering with IT, we found 3 companies whose services are interesting to us. We received catalogs of companies and held bilateral meetings in which we discussed possible options for cooperation.
At the moment, the disposition is such that these firms understand our requirements for building an integrated IT system; we know the niches for which these firms work. When planning the implementation of strategic IT tasks, these firms will likely be involved in work performance (at least – receiving a commercial and technical proposal for participation in the competition).
Thank you for organizing these events!”
Case Study 4: EcoTest
Ms Oksana SKORYK Business Development Manager, PE “SPPE “Sparing-Vist Center” – EcoTest: “Our company PE “SPPE “Sparing-Vist Center” is looking for the development company for our devices’ project management software. We wanted to find an IT company to cooperate with our enterprise as an engineering company for our hardware-software projects. Besides, we are looking for companies that can create a web page for the new direction of our business.
As a result of the matchmaking event, we found potential partners for all of the mentioned projects. Now, we continue communication with 3 IT companies: Coreteka, Solution Mentors Inc. and Gigacloud. And we will engage for our projects more companies from the list of participants as soon as we create clear technical requirements for our tasks and find at least partial grant financing for our projects mentioned above.
Such events are very useful, and we hope that TechUkraine will continue to hold the practice of matchmaking events.”
Case Study 5: Carbon Residence
Many thanks for organizing and conducting matchmaking
During the event, we managed to get acquainted with three companies and with one of them formulated the task for the website that we need to promote the project.
We identified the most successful CRM system for us, selected a template for filling the site but disagreed on the price.
It was decided to return to the issue of cooperation later when we have the required amount for creating the website.
Thanks to TechUkraine for the event initiative; we will be grateful for information on future projects.
Case Study 6: Alba film
The initiative to create a match-up IT and creative industry organized by the TechUkraine team is exciting. Very well organized and well thought out.
It is helpful for cross-sectoral interaction. Another thing is that within those participants who took part in the initiative, this interaction had a very limited service nature; it is not in the joint production of a creative product. Current interaction has the potential at the level of service interaction, companies in the creative industry need a site, IT company creates a site. But most of us already have portals.
The assembly point is interesting in another aspect, at least for me. We have an educational laboratory for professionals, and we produce a professionally creative product, write scripts, direct them and produce.
Where in IT can we cross? Obviously, this is the gaming industry. In the gaming industry, the creative team is often self-taught. At the same time, Alba film provides educational workshops, and it could interact as a contractor to create games in tandem, covering the creative component. The IT company could cover the technical part to be similar to the creative cooperation – co-creation.
I would take part in such a meeting with great interest.
Case Studies 7: Dakh Theatre – GOGOLFEST
The event was productive for our team, as we could meet many representatives of the IT sector for potential cooperation in cultural projects.
The event helped us understand the challenges facing the cultural sector in terms of modern technology and what solutions could be found.
Also, special thanks to Iryna Supruniuk for the article How experimental Dakh theatre embodied the art in digital space about the projects of GogolFest, the Center for Contemporary Art “DAKH” and the Laboratory for digital solutions “GF_LSD.” The article accumulated basic information about the implemented projects in English, which eventually helped us during the presentation at the Edinburgh Festival.
We hope for further cooperation and the opportunity to implement joint events.
