IT UKRAINE FROM A TO Z Key findings UKRAINE'S IT SERVICE INDUSTRY FOR AN INTERACTIVE PRESENTATION, CLICK HERE • Ukraine has the largest number of IT professionals in Central and Eastern Europe (putting aside Russia); its IT engineering work force is expected to double to over 200,000 by 2020. • Ukrainian outsourcing companies offer a wide range of engineering capabilities, with most companies having already switched to agile development over the past few years. • The export volume of Ukraine’s software development and IT services reached at least $2.5 billion in 2015, showing double-digit growth year after year. The US market is the main destination with an estimated 80% volume of exported services. • The country’s political turbulence has had little impact on the existing activity of most industry players, but remains an obstacle to stronger growth. The industry has the potential to reach a completely different order of magnitude, given the size and quality of the country’s workforce, should reforms succeed and new strong players emerge. • The English proficiency level among IT professionals has grown significantly over the past few years, but remains lower than that of some other CEE countries. R&D CENTERS OF GLOBAL COMPANIES IN UKRAINE • Ukraine is home to over 100 R&D subsidiaries of global companies from a variety of industries, including telecoms, software, gaming and e-commerce. • A significant part of these global companies entered the Ukrainian market indirectly, through M&As, joint R&D with an outsourcing component, or outstaffing service companies. • The United States remains Ukraine’s largest partner for joint R&D activities (around 45% of the companies involved), followed by EU countries and Israel. • Kyiv (Kiev) is the most popular location in Ukraine for opening an R&D center, concentrating over half of all such bases in the country. Other key cities for R&D activity include Dnipropetrovsk, Lviv (Lvov), Odessa, Kharkiv (Kharkov) and Vinnytsia. BUSINESS AND LEGAL ENVIRONMENT • Over the past year, Ukraine has significantly improved its status in international business venue rankings, while its taxes for IT-related businesses have remained relatively low. • The current reform effort aims to improve the legal environment; however, certain laws are still cumbersome and legal loopholes remain in the commercial, financial and technological fields. • IP protection legislation for companies and individuals is expected to be improved by further reforms. 9
