The recent two months of war have divided the life of every Ukrainian into before and after. We are all going through a period of rethinking and transformations, inventing of a new BCP plan for the Ukrainian economy in general and for the IT industry in particular.
- Due to the Covid years, when the teams gained the skills of effective remote work, more than 85% of specialists are already involved in operational work online or offline.
- IT specialists showed their multitasking: 2% joined the Armed Forces, 5% – in the cyber army, others combine volunteering with the implementation of current projects and contracts.
- Forced mass relocation has caused significant shifts in the IT map of Ukraine, created conditions for the new IT centers and perspective hubs to appear. Moreover, the structure of the industry will face the transformations with the focus on militarization of its capabilities and post-conflict recovery.
- Recognizing the importance of in-depth analytical research of the national IT industry for the state and business to elaborate an effective strategy of its further development, IT Ukraine launches a new study “Ukrainian IT Industry: reboot in wartime” with participation of members of the Association and in partnership with Ukrainian IT clusters in Vinnytsia, Dnipro, Kyiv, Konotop, Mariupol, Odesa, Rivne, Ternopil, Kharkiv, Cherkasy, Chernivtsi, Chernihiv.
