On June 12, 2024, the Ukraine Tech Summit convened in London, uniting tech leaders, government officials, and investors from Ukraine and the UK. Sponsored by Google for Startups and Roosh, an investment group, the event aimed to support Ukraine’s tech sector amid ongoing challenges. Sergey Tokarev, co-founder of Roosh, highlighted the summit’s outcomes on Facebook, emphasizing the pivotal role of international cooperation in reviving Ukraine’s tech industry.

The summit underscored Ukraine’s growing influence in the UK tech market, with increasing numbers of Ukrainian professionals joining British tech companies. Vladyslav Bazikalov, founder of the Ukraine Tech Summit, stressed the importance of investing in Ukraine to ensure the stability and growth of its tech sector during turbulent times. The event featured discussions on managing Ukraine’s tech ecosystem and attracting investments in Ukrainian innovations, along with startup pitch sessions that showcased the country’s entrepreneurial spirit.

According to Sergey Tokarev, one of the key discussions at the summit focused on the global tech ecosystem, exploring how tech market players interact and grow. Ukraine’s startup ecosystem is now valued at €28 billion, and that alone proves its resilience and potential. Mike Butcher, editor-at-large of TechCrunch, praised the quality of Ukrainian startups and noted a need for a stronger product vision to effectively enter the market.

Butcher pointed out that UK entrepreneurs have long benefited from Ukraine’s tech talent, which spans various sectors from SaaS to climate tech to defense tech. He emphasized that Ukraine’s resilience, both at the personal and startup levels, makes it an invaluable partner for the UK and Europe. This sentiment was echoed by Sergey Tokarev, who argued that international tech businesses should reconsider their policies that limit cooperation with companies in war zones. Sergey Tokarev highlighted the extraordinary efforts of Ukrainian tech specialists who continue to innovate and develop startups despite the ongoing war in the country.

Michal Kramarz, Head of Google for Startups in CCE, noted that Ukraine has a unique advantage over other European countries in terms of technology implementation. Unlike the heavily regulated European market, Ukraine has the opportunity to experiment with new technological solutions before potentially joining the EU. This flexibility allows Ukrainian startups to pioneer innovative approaches that can later be integrated into broader European markets.

Kramarz also announced the addition of nine Ukrainian startups to the Google for Startups Ukraine Support Fund. This $10 million fund, created in partnership with 1991 Accelerator, provides $100,000 grants and expert support to help Ukrainian tech companies thrive. Notable participants include Ailand Systems, a developer of autonomous drones for mine detection; BazaIT, an IT recruiting platform; Carbominer, a startup focused on capturing carbon dioxide from the air; Clearly, a platform for finding psychotherapists; and Eddy, a digital space for educational institutions.

Sergey Tokarev with the Ukraine Tech Summit highlighted the critical role of Ukrainian tech expertise in driving innovation and economic growth in Europe. By fostering international collaboration and investment, the summit aimed to showcase the resilience and potential of Ukraine’s tech sector. As European countries look to enhance their technological capabilities, Ukraine’s adaptable and innovative approach offers valuable insights and opportunities for mutual growth.
