The IT industry remains an island of economic stability for Ukraine, even a month after the war broke out.
According to a survey conducted by the IT Ukraine Association, since the very beginning of the war, almost 2% of IT professionals mainly with a military experience have joined the Armed Forces. In some small companies with a staff of up to 200 people, 20% of specialists joined the army.
5% of IT experts are highly involved in the fight at the information front, in the field of state cybersecurity and support of critical infrastructure facilities. At the same time, there are companies where almost 100% of specialists work in the cyber forces right now.
Ukraine’s economy is now defended by more than 85% of IT professionals.
IT companies were able to adapt quickly to new circumstances, because most of them had anti-crisis business plans. Shortly before the war, a number of specialists were relocated from the eastern regions. Currently, more than 70% of IT professionals work in safe regions of Ukraine, the other 16%, mostly women, work abroad.
Most companies have resumed their work, from 50 to 80% of specialists are involved in the implementation of client projects. Due to this, the industry remains financially stable, as 77% of companies have retained almost all customers and the volume of their contracts.
