Two Years of Resilience and Growth: Conscensia’s Commitment in Ukraine
As we mark the second anniversary of a significant turning point in Ukraine’s history, it’s crucial to reflect on the resilience and growth that have defined this period. The invasion that began two years ago has tested the strength and spirit of the Ukrainian people and businesses, including the dynamic IT sector.
Enduring Spirit of Ukraine’s IT Industry
Despite the full-scale war, the Ukrainian technology industry has shown remarkable resilience. According to IT Research Ukraine, not only has the industry continued to develop, but it has also seen an increase in turnover.
This growth is a testament to the dedication and expertise of Ukrainian IT professionals who have adapted and thrived in the face of adversity. Over the past year, the number of tech specialists in Ukraine has grown by over 7%, reaching a total of 307,600 talented individuals.
Furthermore, a significant 36% of CEOs leading Ukrainian tech companies have expressed plans to expand their operations, with new offices set to open in 2024. This forward-looking perspective underscores the confidence in Ukraine’s IT industry’s potential and its role as a global tech player.
Conscensia’s Journey in Ukraine
At Conscensia, our software development hub in Lviv has been a beacon of innovation and excellence throughout these challenging times. Our colleagues in Ukraine have exemplified what it means to be resilient, courageous, and united, continuing to develop cutting-edge software solutions that meet and exceed our clients’ expectations. This unwavering commitment has allowed us to maintain our engagement levels in Ukraine at pre-war standards.
Despite some losses, our ability to onboard new clients and expand existing development teams in our Lviv hub speaks volumes about our clients’ trust and the quality of work our Ukrainian teams deliver. This trust has led to new projects and opportunities for collaboration, further integrating Ukrainian expertise into the global tech landscape.
A Unified Effort for Ukraine
In the spirit of solidarity, both Conscensia and our colleagues have been actively involved in supporting Ukraine through donations to humanitarian and military assistance. More than 213,000 tech specialists, representing 93.6% of the industry, have allocated a portion of their budgets to charity. On average, they donate a tenth of their income, which shows their desire and dedication to a free and independent Ukraine. 💙💛
