"Invest Ukraine" Governmental agency & Deloitte - report on the IT market of Ukraine

"Invest Ukraine" Governmental agency & Deloitte presented analytics on the IT market of Ukraine.

The report mentions that, driven by the availability of a large skilled labor pool as well as relatively low personnel costs, Ukraine was the fastest growing IT market in the whole CEE region before the financial crisis.

Developments in the coming years will show whether it will regain this status. Nevertheless, Ukraine’s IT industry is still underinvested in many areas. The low level of IT expenditures and low share of IT services and software sales in the total market value means a high potential for further growth.

Though this report can be treated as outdated, it provides a broad outlook and a plethora of information for the proper understanding of Ukraine’s IT industry potential.
