IT-trip to Ukraine September 2018
- Lviv, Ukraine
- 25.09.2018 - 30.09.2018

Do you need IT-competence? The Norwegian-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce (NUCC) is organizing a business trip to Ukraine for Norwegian companies in September. The trip is a chance to explore the opportunities in Ukrainian IT and experience Lviv IT Arena, one of Eastern Europe’s largest IT-conferences.
Ukraine is about to become an attractive IT and outsourcing destination in Europe. The Global Sourcing Association (GSA) UK nominated Ukraine as the offshoring destination of the year in 2017. Many Norwegian companies are already using Ukrainian IT-specialists. The reason is the access to high IT-competence to a reasonable price. Ukraine has the largest pool of IT-specialists in Central and Eastern Europe.
On the trip you will:
- Get insights into Ukrainian politics, economy, and opportunities in IT
- Have B2B-meetings with Ukrainian IT-companies
- Experience Lviv IT Arena
Time: September 25th-30th
Place: Kyiv, Lviv
The trip is partly funded for members of NUCC, IKT-Norge, and Bedriftsforbundet. You only need to pay a small fee on 2500 NOK (includes Kyiv&Lviv)/1500 NOK (includes only Lviv). Travel and accommodation are covered.
