The Mariupol IT Cluster was set up in 2018, uniting over 20 IT companies and 700 professionals from the Azov region and Eastern Ukraine aiming to develop the Donetsk region IT sector. After February 24, 2022 cluster members got relocated to other cities in Ukraine and abroad. Part of the team is currently based in Khmelnytskyi and Mukachevo.
In our new projects we focus on providing assistance in the development and search for partners and investors for relocated IT businesses and specialists from Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Kherson and other regions affected by the war.
Assistance to the IT sector of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Odessa, Mykolaiv and other regions of Ukraine, assistance in developing the activities of IT companies and specialists who were forced to get evacuated due to military action.
"IT specialists in the east and south of Ukraine faced a crisis that has not often happened to hi-tech businesses in world history. They lost their homes, got displaced all around the world and often have to start their activity basically from zero. And yet they carry on and develop the IT sphere in Ukraine and abroad thanks to their experience, professional expertise, modern ideas, flexibility and ability to adapt quickly to changes. United we do incredible things, not only saving our team and family, but also helping the country", - Andrii Gadashevich, CEO of Mariupol IT-Cluster.
