In late June, Gdańsk became a global hub for discussions on Ukraine’s future. The city hosted a series of high-level events focused on the country’s recovery, international cooperation, and investment opportunities. For Lviv IT Cluster, participation in these events provided an opportunity to present Ukraine’s technology industry as one of the key contributors to the country’s post-war reconstruction.
On 24 June, the Lviv IT Cluster team joined Lviv Resilience Day, an event organized by Lviv City Council dedicated to strengthening urban resilience through initiatives in rehabilitation, energy, and investment.
Sviatoslav Kavetskyi, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Lviv IT Cluster, moderated a panel discussion on the role of the IT industry in strengthening Ukraine’s resilience. The discussion featured Nick Bilogorskiy, CEO of Nova Ukraine, and Valery Krasovsky, CEO of Sigma Software, President of Diia.City Union.
The discussion focused on the technology sector’s adaptation to operating in wartime conditions, workforce challenges, and tech industry’s contribution to the development of Ukrainian cities, regions, and the country’s long-term economic growth.
On the same day, the Cluster team took part in two more thematic events on the sidelines of the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026. The first, organized by Diia.City Union in partnership with EIT Community Hub Ukraine, focused on Ukraine’s integration into Europe’s innovation ecosystem. The second, Joint Future via Defence Programs, brought attendees together to discuss international defence cooperation and the development of security technologies.
On 25–26 June, Gdańsk hosted the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026 (URC), the annual international conference dedicated to coordinating Ukraine’s recovery efforts. For the first time, the event took place in Central and Eastern Europe, bringing together delegations from more than 100 countries.
Organized by the governments of Poland and Ukraine, the conference united representatives of governments, international financial institutions, businesses, and civil society organizations. Discussions focused on five strategic priorities: business cooperation, regional development, European integration, human capital, and security and defence.
«URC is one of the few platforms where fundamental decisions on Ukraine’s recovery are shaped. It is important for us to be there not as observers, but as the voice of an industry that is already one of the country’s key economic pillars. The IT sector has demonstrated remarkable resilience throughout the war, positioning it as an important contributor to Ukraine’s post-war recovery» said Sviatoslav Kavetskyi, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Lviv IT Cluster.
During the conference, the Lviv IT Cluster team held a series of meetings with representatives of Enterprise Ireland, Expertise France, Latvian IT Cluster, the Embassy of Latvia in Ukraine, the Eastern Europe, Western Balkan and Central Asia Section of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic, GIZ, Swiss partners, international donor organizations, and prospective Cluster partners. The discussions centered on expanding international cooperation, supporting Ukraine’s technology sector, and developing joint initiatives.
The team also met with representatives of Ukrainian IT companies, including both current Lviv IT Cluster members and prospective new member companies. These meetings focused on the industry’s current needs, community development, and opportunities for future collaboration.
Lviv IT Cluster’s participation in the international events in Gdańsk reflects its ongoing commitment to promoting Ukraine’s technology industry globally and building partnerships that will support the country’s recovery.
Despite the challenges of the full-scale war, the IT industry remains Ukraine’s second-largest export sector. In 2024, computer services generated $6.45 billion in export revenue, while in the first eleven months of 2025, the figure reached $5.97 billion. These results demonstrate that the technology sector is not only one of the key drivers of Ukraine’s economy today but also one of its most important assets for the country’s future reconstruction.
