<strong>IT</strong> <strong>UKRAINE</strong> FROM A TO Z<br />

PART 1: THE UKRAINIAN <strong>IT</strong> ECOSYSTEM<br />

COMMUN<strong>IT</strong>Y IN<strong>IT</strong>IATIVES: MAPPED IN <strong>UKRAINE</strong><br />

Mapped in Ukraine is a map of Ukrainian<br />

startups, business incubators, <strong>IT</strong>companies,<br />

venture capital funds, R&D<br />

centers, co-working spaces and many<br />

other companies. The goal of the project<br />

is to get all Ukrainian <strong>IT</strong>-related<br />

companies on one map. In addition to<br />

raising awareness about Ukraine’s<br />

expanding <strong>IT</strong> community, the map<br />

serves as a tool to link potential<br />

investors, outsourcing contractors,<br />

partners with Ukrainian companies or<br />

simply tourists to the free Wi-Fi spots<br />

while they wander around a new city.<br />

Today the project has mapped over 1,400 <strong>IT</strong> companies, including over 450 <strong>IT</strong> companies and 80 R&D<br />

centers. In addition to claiming their companies on the map, participants can post free job positions and<br />

events while startups can mark themselves as “raising funds”. The map is a community mapping platform,<br />

meaning that any tech company, project or facility can add a new place to the map. The information is later<br />

checked and approved by Mapped in Ukraine.<br />
