Backed by the Ukrainian government, CodeUA illustrates the strategic importance of technology in maintaining economic stability and enhancing Ukraine’s defensive capabilities.
From the Web Summit stage in Lisbon, Ukraine’s Vice Minister of Digital Transformation Alex Bornyakov, this week announced the launch of CodeUA, a national marketplace for Ukrainian tech companies.
The platform is set to revolutionise how the world collaborates with Ukraine’s thriving IT sector, renowned for its expertise and commitment to excellence.
Despite the considerable challenges posed by ongoing war and a global recession, Ukraine’s tech industry is giving high hopes for the nation’s economy and defence capabilities. With approximately 5,000 companies and over 300,000 skilled professionals, the Ukrainian tech sector is a vital driver of the European tech market.
Ukrainian IT companies partner with many Fortune 500 giants including Amazon, Apple, IBM, Cisco, Google, and Nvidia, embedding their code in numerous products used by billions of people worldwide.
Notable collaborations include the development of the MBUX infotainment system for Mercedes vehicles by the Ukrainian automotive division of DXC Luxoft. Another Ukrainian company SoftServe is recognized as a reliable AI consulting authority for NVIDIA helping to build artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications to solve complex business challenges and accelerate digital transformation.
‘Cornerstone of our resilience’
“Technology is the cornerstone of our resilience and our fight,” said Bornyakov. “CodeUA not only highlights the strength and adaptability of Ukrainian IT companies but also underscores our commitment to scale this potential through partnerships with companies from around the world. Via this platform, we invite global businesses to experience firsthand the benefits of working together with the Ukrainian IT sector.”
CodeUA showcases trusted Ukrainian companies known for their technical expertise and high-quality IT services across many high-demand domains such as fintech, software and hi-tech, healthcare, automotive and many more.
“Ukrainian developers have established a strong reputation in the tech world, often becoming the go-to choice for complex projects,” said Stepan Veselovskyi, CEO of Lviv IT Cluster.
“With over 82 per cent of our technical talent at the middle, senior, and lead levels, they don’t just perform technical tasks—they fully align with clients’ objectives and long-term strategies. This comprehensive approach sets a benchmark for the service industry, and it’s something we are truly proud of.”
Strategic importance
Backed by the Ukrainian government, CodeUA illustrates the strategic importance of technology in maintaining economic stability and enhancing Ukraine’s defensive capabilities.
In 2023, the Ukrainian IT industry contributed 12.7 billion US dollars to the national economy, reinforcing its critical role in the country’s future.
The CodeUA platform was created through the joint efforts of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and the Lviv IT Cluster, with the support of the USAID Competitive Economy Programme in Ukraine (USAID CEP).
