Poroshenko advocates support for Ukrainian IT sector
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko advocates support for the Ukrainian IT sector and its development.
"We have a huge staff potential and the most dynamic growth in the number of IT specialists. Our task is to support the developing IT sector," he said in his address to the Ukrainian parliament in Kyiv on Tuesday.
The president said that in 2015 the IT sector became the third sphere in Ukraine in terms of exports, reaching $2.5 billion. This is 3% of Ukrainian GDP.
Poroshenko said that over 2,000 startups have been registered in Ukraine. They show high growth – up to 100% in a year.
"Last year investment reached $132 million, and foreigners invested a half of it. Ten Ukrainian IT companies were included in top 100 of global outsourcing companies," he added.
