💻👨💻 We’re excited to share insights from yesterday’s UK-Ukraine Tech Roundtable, hosted by techUK.
🌐 This event was a significant follow-up to the official launch of the UK-Ukraine Tech Bridge, a landmark initiative designed to bolster cooperation between the UK and Ukraine across four key pillars: boosting trade, accelerating investment, augmenting skills, and enhancing innovation.
👥Featuring Deputy Minister for Digital Transformation of Ukraine, Alex Bornyakov, the roundtable brought together leaders and innovators from both nations to discuss and shape the future of our tech collaboration.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
1️⃣ Expanding Horizons: We explored new avenues for tech collaboration, particularly for UK companies looking to enter the Ukrainian market and vice versa.
2️⃣ Governmental Support: The importance of both governments in fostering these tech partnerships was a key focus, acknowledging their role in creating opportunities for technological advancements.
3️⃣ Ukraine’s Resilience and Openness: The resilience and unity of Ukraine, highlighted by a University of Oxford study, underscore the nation’s readiness for business and innovation, even in challenging times.
4️⃣ Investment: A Bold Move: Echoing sentiments from Davos, investing in Ukraine might appear risky, but the potential rewards in the tech sector are significant and promising.
🔵 Softblues: Bridging UK-Ukraine Tech Collaboration: At Softblues (www.softblues.io), we are proud to be a part of this initiative. With our headquarters in the UK and our talented engineering team in Ukraine, we stand at the forefront of this exciting tech bridge.
🔗 This roundtable not only reflects the ongoing commitment of both countries to this partnership but also sets the stage for a future rich in innovation and collaboration. For that, we would need to elaborate multiple cooperation bridges on all levels.
