Benefits of participation - Lviv IT Cluster

We build a leading technological hub in Lviv

A business association based on principles of social responsibility can initiate systemic changes in the business environment of the city and the country. For that reason, for almost 10 years, the Lviv IT Cluster has been implementing educational, promotional, infrastructural, and research projects to improve the Lviv business ecosystem, raise the level of education and create jobs.

Community

We have built a business association of influential and powerful leaders whose voice is heard when making strategic decisions, important for the city and the country. We appreciate the trust of tech companies which is central to our organization’s success. We provide expert assistance to all member companies who need knowledge or experience in a specific business sphere.

Education

Our goal is to increase the number of graduates with tech degrees in Lviv. Together with progressive companies – our business association members, we have launched 19 new IT programs with over 4,500 students enrolled in them. Each of our business association members can join educational projects and contribute to the creation of new bachelor’s programs.

IT market research

Since 2015, the Lviv IT Cluster has been conducting large-scale IT market studies. Our members are the first to get access to the results of IT Research – annual analytical reports on industry development. These research data allow our members to understand how the IT industry is evolving and to build business strategies.

We ensure business continuity

During the Covid-19 pandemic, we were the first to start Covid-testing, and later mass vaccination for the employees of the Cluster companies. Long before the invasion, we launched the work of the BCP team, and after February 24 – we initiated Victory projects – to help businesses work uninterruptedly in new, difficult conditions.

Thanks to the Cluster’s activity, which introduced new approaches to ensuring business functioning, the member companies can continue stable work in Ukraine even during the war.

Security

We initiate projects that make our city safer for talented IT specialists and entrepreneurs to consider Lviv as a place for temporary or permanent relocation. Among the Victory projects, Vision and Sky are essential, as they are aimed at securing our city and the sky above it.

Backup connection

As part of a joint initiative of the Lviv IT Cluster and the SpaceX division, we provided the critical infrastructure of Ukraine’s western regions with a backup Internet connection and handed over 400 Starlink terminals to critical infrastructure and business needs.

Support of the Armed Forces

To protect the military who defend our country on the frontlines, we launched the Armor project – an initiative to purchase 1,000 class 4+ bulletproof vests, our team has already purchased and handed over 800 bulletproof vests.

Participating companies

100+

More than 300 companies have already become members of the Lviv IT Cluster and enjoy all the benefits of membership. The association’s management is based on clear and transparent conditions. Each member can be elected to the Supervisory Board, a governing body of the Lviv IT Cluster to participate in the Strategic Session and offer ideas, which is an effective tool for starting new projects.

We have a long history with the Cluster, as Qubstudio has been a member of the organization almost since its inception. For many years, our company has been cooperating with Lviv IT Cluster as a design partner on a number of projects: IT Arena, IT Jazz, IT Club and others. Qubstudio is also the creator of the cluster’s logo and corporate identity, as well as its website. It is very pleasant to see the rapid development of the organization, the constant process of initiating and implementing more ambitious and large-scale projects, together to victory!
