“Ukrainian Hi-Tech Initiative” – an alliance of software development companies is actively extending its membership.

This Forum became a place of meeting for more than 100 local and foreign companies.

“One of the top priorities of the Ukrainian Hi-Tech Initiative is development of the program aimed at boosting Ukrainian software development industry – “UKRAINE, THE IT-FIRST NATION”. It can give a new impulse to the industry growth.
