  • All Ukrainian cities have dropped substantially in the Index, but Kyiv maintains its position in the global top 100, proving its resilience. Kyiv dropped 45 places but remains the highest-ranking city in Ukraine, and the only one in the top global 100 at 93rd.
  • Kyiv is most notably ranked in the top 25 globally for Marketing & Sales and Software & Data industries.
  • Notable Startups and Ecosystem Champions: Grammarly, a digital writing assistant. The first Ukrainian decacorn; People.ai, the AI platform for enterprise sales, marketing, and customer success that uncovers revenue opportunities. Ukrainian unicorn.

Startup Ecosystem Overview: As Ukraine bravely faces war, it is difficult to say what the after effects on the startup scene will be and how fast Ukraine will rebuild its physical and economic infrastructure. The country had been going through economic difficulties for several years before the war, but still managed to create technology that is both scalable and global. This attests to their talented and resilient workforce.
