Genesis Expands Its Product Ecosystem: New Office Opening in Lviv

Genesis, a Ukrainian product-based IT ecosystem, is expanding by opening a new office in Lviv. As the ecosystem’s products continue to grow, teams are actively hiring specialists in the region.

“We see great potential in Lviv for the development of product teams, given its strong IT community and renowned universities. Opening an office here allows us to be closer to local professionals and contribute to the development of the product IT sector,” said Volodymyr Mnogoletniy, Co-Founder and CEO of Genesis.

The new office will initially accommodate around 100 employees, with plans to expand further. It will also feature a lecture hall for educational events organized by the company.

Currently, teams from OBRIO (Nebula), Promova, Boosters, HOLYWATER, EverHelp, Lift, VP 6037, talentC, and Genesis Head Office are already working in the new space. These teams are looking to hire professionals based in Lviv for their local branches.

“Over the past three years of full-scale war, Lviv has emerged as one of Ukraine’s key IT hubs. We aim to strengthen our connection with the local professional community and expand our educational initiatives so that more people can discover opportunities to work on IT products,” said Oleksii Nishchyk, Chief Growth Officer at Genesis.

In March, Genesis is set to organize an Analytics Hackathon in Lviv, marking another step in strengthening collaboration between the company and the local IT ecosystem.

Before launching the office, Genesis had already been working with Lviv’s higher education institutions. In particular, the company has partnered with the Ukrainian Catholic University on joint educational projects and disciplines and has collaborated with professors from Lviv National University and Lviv Polytechnic to develop academic programs.

Since 2022, Genesis has been a member of the Lviv IT Cluster.
