This was reported by the IT Ukraine association, according to Ukrinform reports.

Yes, according to the research “Relocation. Ukraine’s new IT environment”, 25% of surveyed IT companies did not relocate and continued to work remotely. Another 30% said they refused to move to safe areas and used a mixed way of working – remote and partly from the office.

Among the relocating IT companies, relocation within Ukraine is dominant (45%). 42% of companies partially moved abroad and only 5% of companies closed part of their offices in Ukraine. None of the IT companies interviewed had a full relocation abroad. Relocation is largely considered by IT companies as a mandatory step for the war period or at least its active phase.

According to BT Ukraine, none of the interviewed IT companies intend to completely shut down their business in Ukraine. In the perspective to the end of 2022, the majority of IT companies (63%) do not plan for partial or full relocation. Only 14% of respondents are considering a partial or full relocation abroad by the end of the year. Some companies (23%) plan to combine relocation abroad and within Ukraine. In other words, a total of 37% of companies consider it possible to move by the end of this year. We can expect this indicator to increase if the situation in the country does not change significantly.

As reported, since the start of accepting applications for the IT Generation sweater project, more than 100,000 applications have been received from Ukrainians wishing to receive free IT training. The IT Generation project allows you to get a free profession in IT. Citizens of Ukraine between the ages of 21 and 60 who do not have formal education and do not have qualifications and experience in IT can participate in it.
