The drive and fighting spirit to shine, even in the dark shadow of war

As a partly Ukrainian company, this year we faced an unprecedented challenge – war. In keeping with our Business Continuity Plan (BCP), we evacuated 2,800 people, our employees and their families, from the conflict zone. Since our digital infrastructure and servers are located in the EU and 95% of our specialists work on laptops, we were able to resume all our activities after only two and a half weeks. We adapted to the situation, just as we did two years ago, when the COVID-19 pandemic swept the globe. And we are very proud that we have been able to continue to deliver our services.

As a result of the war, we have opened more than ten new offices in Poland, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany, Argentina, Colombia and Mexico. We have also expanded our presence in six cities in Ukraine and reopened our office in Kyiv.

In 2022, we have so far received over 50 new projects, which means that we are now working on more than 300 projects and assignments

What we have done for Ukraine and for European values:

• Our employees, customers and partners raised USD 3.72 million to help the Ukrainian army and our compatriots who have been forced to flee their homes.
• We have raised USD 675,000 for the Help Kharkiv humanitarian aid fund.
• Together with the Danir Group, we have created Swedes for Ukraine, a platform that connects Swedes who have extra space in their homes with Ukrainian refugee families.
• Star for Life in Ukraine helps children gain IT skills while receiving psychological support.
• Chatbot for Kharkiv. Here, Kharkiv residents can see the status of their houses after their neighbourhoods have been bombed.
• Hack for Peace is a hackathon to find technical solutions that can help deal with problems that arise in war. It was held in five countries and attracted over 500 participants.
• We shared our story and experiences at Almedalen, at Tech.eu and a number of other events.
