The IT industry plays a significant role in the economic growth of Eurasian countries, bringing millions of dollars to national budgets, creating thousands of high-paying jobs, and being a stable source of foreign exchange earnings. In many countries of Eurasia, including Ukraine, the IT sector has become a mainstay of national economies. That is why keeping the IT sector in Eurasian countries during the period of turmoil at least partly operational is proving ever more important.
How is the IT industry in Eurasia responding to black swan events such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and how are companies adapting to new realities – these issues will be discussed at the next StrategEast.Live panel discussion “IT Industry in Eurasia During Period of Turmoil”.
