Emerging Europe: Five ways to support Ukraine’s tech sector

Ukraine’s IT sector has had to adapt to the realities of war but continues to operate at almost full capacity despite the extraordinary conditions: a sign of its, and Ukraine’s, resilience. It needs continued support, however.

• Highlighting the resilience of Ukraine’s IT sector has become commonplace, and is recognition of the fact that it remains one of the key drivers of the country’s economy, and is likely to form a crucial part of its reconstruction once the war is won.
• As resilient as the tech sector has been, however, it needs continued support from its external partners, especially as its role in the reconstruction of Ukraine is likely to so integral the country’s future.
• Emerging Europe has been in touch with key players from the Ukrainian tech sector throughout the war, offering them a voice and a platform to get the message out that the country remains open for business.
