Such events are crucial for strengthening the positions of Ukrainian IT on the global market, as noted by CEO of FAVBET Tech Artem Skrypnyk.
Ukraine has been making significant strides in the IT industry in recent years, with its talented pool of IT professionals and favorable business environment. The country has become a hub for outsourcing and has been attracting investments from major international companies. However, in order to solidify its position on the global market, it is important for Ukraine to continue to showcase its potential and capabilities.
One such event that plays a key role in this effort is the annual IT Arena conference, which brings together industry leaders, experts, and enthusiasts from around the world. This year, the conference was held in Lviv, Ukraine from September 27-29 and was attended by over 4,000 participants.
The CEO of FAVBET Tech, Artem Skrypnyk, was one of the speakers at the conference and highlighted the importance of such events for the Ukrainian IT industry. He stated, «Events like IT Arena are crucial for showcasing the potential of Ukrainian IT and for building strong partnerships with international companies. It is a great platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and promoting the country’s IT capabilities.»
The conference featured a diverse range of topics, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, cybersecurity, and digital transformation. It also included workshops, panel discussions, and networking sessions, providing ample opportunities for participants to learn, connect, and collaborate.
One of the main highlights of the conference was the Startup Competition, where 20 promising startups from Ukraine and neighboring countries pitched their ideas to a panel of investors and industry experts. This competition not only provided a platform for startups to gain exposure and funding but also showcased the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit of the Ukrainian IT industry.
In addition to IT Arena, there are several other events that are contributing to the growth and recognition of Ukrainian IT on the global stage. For instance, the annual Lviv IT Jazz conference, which focuses on the latest trends and developments in the IT industry, has been gaining popularity among international participants. Similarly, the Kyiv Outsourcing Forum, which brings together IT outsourcing companies and clients, has been instrumental in promoting Ukraine as a top outsourcing destination.
The efforts of these events and conferences have not gone unnoticed, as Ukraine has been consistently climbing the ranks in global IT rankings. According to the Global Innovation Index 2019, Ukraine has been ranked 45th out of 129 countries in terms of innovation performance, with its IT industry being a major contributor to this achievement.
Moreover, the Ukrainian IT industry has been gaining recognition for its high-quality services and products. Companies like FAVBET Tech, which provides software development and IT consulting services, have been receiving positive feedback from their international clients. This further strengthens the country’s reputation as a reliable and competitive IT outsourcing destination.
In conclusion, events like IT Arena are crucial for showcasing the potential of Ukrainian IT and for building strong partnerships with international companies. They provide a platform for the country to demonstrate its capabilities, attract investments, and foster collaborations. With the continuous growth and success of the Ukrainian IT industry, it is clear that such events will continue to play a key role in strengthening its position on the global market.
