\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Each year IT Arena gathers thousands of attendees, including investors, venture capitalists, representatives of accelerators and incubators, who are seeking fresh innovations from Ukrainian startups. Over the past few years, Ukraine was put on the map of the countries with the best technological potential, and recently Kyiv was placed on the 34th position among cities with the largest number of startups. Which can only mean one thing: the startup battle will only be more fierce in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n
