Fortune: Why Ukraine is going all in on tech to rebuild its economy

Alex Bornyakov, the deputy minister of digital transformation of Ukraine and the head of the Diia City project, wrote the article about “investing in Ukraine’s tech sector is an investment in the country`s rebuilding.”

Highlights:

  • The tech sector is a powerful driver of the Ukrainian economy. I.T. services exports brought in $2 billion during the first quarter of 2022, according to I.T. Ukraine’s research.
  • One of our top priorities is digital resistance. Military Industrial Parks are special economic zones for the creation and development of military-grade equipment and cyber defense-related enterprises and startups. We focus on stimulating technical and financial support for the development and operation of military robotics.
  • We are working to transform Ukraine into the largest IT hub in Eastern Europe with the fastest growing GDP, industrial parks, and its own security-focused “Silicon Valley.”
