IT-Enterprise together with the Ukrainian Defence Forces
ITU Member IT-Enterprise provides comprehensive support to Ukrainian defenders through technical and financial assistance to military funds. The company combines the provision of IT solutions with donations of professional services to charitable organisations, directly transferring funds to meet the needs of the military.
IT-Enterprise is advancing new stages of digitalisation for the “Come Back Alive” fund, replacing fragmented software products with a comprehensive Ukrainian solution. The new system, featuring an AI assistant, processes over 70,000 bank statements every month with 99.5% accuracy and ensures end-to-end tracking of goods from procurement to delivery to the military.
Thanks to digitalisation, the fund has gained more transparent processes, real-time data, and accurate analytics, which accelerate daily activities related to fundraising, procurement, and reporting. Analytical dashboards are available on the fund’s website in the reporting section to ensure public transparency of its operations.
IT-Enterprise also regularly makes donations to the “Come Back Alive” Fund and the Front-U Fund, which purchase equipment for the frontlines. This equipment strengthens the military units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the National Guard.
The children of employees also contribute to helping the defenders. Drawings and small surprises from the children especially support the fighters, reminding them of home.
EPAM supports Ukrainian healthcare with ₴10 million.
ITU Member EPAM continues to support Ukraine’s healthcare system amid the war. During 2024-25, more than 8,600 units of property — including computers, furniture, household appliances, and other equipment — were delivered to medical institutions across different regions. The total value of the provided equipment amounts to over ₴7 million.
Assistance was provided to both large hospitals and primary healthcare centres, including Lviv Regional Clinical Hospital, Dnipro City Emergency Hospital, National Children’s Hospital “Okhmatdyt”, Kharkiv Regional Blood Service Centre, and many others.
In addition to material support, EPAM financed the creation of a cornea bank for transplanting to wounded defenders in cooperation with the UNBROKEN foundation. After the bombing of “Okhmatdyt”, the company donated ₴1.5 million to purchase diagnostic equipment and install power supply systems. Overall, the financial and material support to healthcare institutions amounted to ₴10 million over the year.
This assistance is part of the EPAM Response Program, launched in 2022 in response to russian aggression. Since its inception, the total amount of assistance provided to the country has exceeded 710 million.
SoftServe launches EmpowerU program for veterans and military personnel
Global IT provider ITU Member SoftServe implements the EmpowerU initiative in Ukraine — a free retraining program for starting a career in IT. According to Vadim Shumeiko, the head of CSR programs in Ukraine, after the full-scale war began, it became clear that the number of veterans needing new career paths would increase.
The program targets veterans, service members, and their families. The initiative’s goal is not only to provide technical skills but also to give clear guidance for further development in a new profession.
Since the program’s launch in Ukraine, five training cohorts have taken place, with over 1,600 people registering. 190 participants have successfully completed the course, and three graduates have already joined SoftServe — two working in Cloud & DevOps, and one as a tester. Social responsibility has been an integral part of SoftServe since the company’s early years.
ELEKS organised blood donation for Superhumans’ needs
At the Lviv office of ITU Member ELEKS, a mobile blood donation event was held to support patients at the Superhumans military trauma centre. A mobile medical unit with a fully equipped bus and medical personnel arrived at the office for the event.
ELEKS employees, their friends and relatives, and colleagues from neighbouring IT companies N-iX and Gameloft Ukraine participated in the donation. A total of about 27 litres of blood were collected, enough for 6-10 complex surgical operations.
For ELEKS’ Lviv office, this was the first blood donation initiative of this scale, though similar events have become a regular practice at their Ivano-Frankivsk office.
Intellias supports the development of para-hockey in Ukraine
A trilateral memorandum of cooperation was signed between Lviv City Council, ITU Member Intellias, and the Ukrainian Ice Para-Hockey Federation. The agreement foresees support for the development of para-hockey, particularly assisting the “Unbreakable” team — the first sled hockey team in Ukraine.
The team consists of 15 members, including war veterans and civilians with disabilities from various regions of Ukraine, who are undergoing rehabilitation in Lviv. They have been training since the beginning of 2025 and have an ambitious goal — to join the national team that will represent Ukraine at the 2026 World Championship.
As part of the veteran support program, Intellias will provide the Lviv team with suitable training conditions and high-quality equipment. Currently, the “Unbreakable” team trains several times a week as part of the Comprehensive Sports Program for Military Personnel, War Veterans, and Adaptive Sports of the Lviv City Council. Five team members have already represented Ukraine at an international camp in Slovakia.
