About Ukraine

Ukraine has undoubtedly become one of Eastern Europe's most attractive outsourcing destinations. With the second largest population after Russia, a legacy of Soviet science and highly-skilled technology specialists, Ukraine boasts a fast-growing software development industry.

The industry benefits from visa-free regime with European Union and North America and geographical proximity to Europe. Political instability does not affect outsourcing businesses; on the contrary, the industry continues to experience steady growth with more European businesses capitalizing on the advantages of nearshore delivery.
