Unlike many industries that experienced a sharp decline in performance during 2014, Ukraine’s IT sector managed to largely persevere through political and economic turmoil.

Ukraine’s IT industry, over $5 billion in value, has over 500 outsourcing companies, over 100 global R&D centers, over 100 e-commerce companies and more than 2000 startups. More than 50,000 engineers are employed by the Ukrainian IT firms.
