The IT industry is something truly unique. It provides incredible opportunities for any country in the world. However, at the same time, only a few of them can use these opportunities properly. At the moment, the IT world map is colorful and fascinating: the list of IT leaders also includes countries that would be surprising for some people to see there. For instance, Ukraine demonstrates unexpected results.
IT In Ukraine: The Fastest-Growing Industry
Ukrainian IT industry is one of the fastest-growing in the world. The breakthrough we can witness now is something unbelievable. A post-soviet country with a rather problematic economic situation involved in a political conflict shakes the world with its IT might.
Despite the common opinion and stereotypes about the weaknesses of this country, Ukraine proves that human resources are the only thing that defines the success. The intellectual potential of Ukraine that we can see is hard to be overestimated.
The number of successful Ukrainian IT companies exceeded one thousand. The financial capacity of the Ukrainian industry reaches up to $20 billion. It should also be mentioned that over 200,000 Ukrainian specialists work in the IT industry. Take a note that these numbers keep growing annually. So, if you consider where to schedule a business meeting this summer, there is no better place than Ukrainian cities and events.
Along with the lightning-fast growth of the IT industry, we can notice that the number of Ukrainian IT events increases as well. Besides small local meet-ups and highly specialized seminars, you can also attend global one-of-a-kind conferences. Usually, such events take place in the largest and the most beautiful cities of Ukraine. Most of the speeches are in English, so IT enthusiasts from different countries can join the discussions and get the unforgettable experience.
