FINLAND
- Over the last few years, exports of Ukrainian IT services to Finland have been growing rapidly – by more than 100% annually. More than 92% of the population are potential consumers of digital services. These two factors, combined with the Association Agreement between Ukraine and Finland (DCFTA), significantly enhance our competitiveness;
- Finland outsources the following services: web application development, business applications, and information security services. Therefore, Ukrainian IT businesses can focus on these activities in cooperation with partners;
NORWAY
- Norway is one of the most stable and developed countries in the world, with a GDP per capita of $ 92,556, which is one of the highest in the world;

- Norwegian companies typically use IT outsourcing services. At the same time, imports of IT services from Ukraine to Norway are showing steady growth.
