Can a booming tech economy help Ukraine in the war against Russia?
Ukrainian Independence Day is almost upon us, and as the war with Russia continues well into its third year, we want to look at how everyday tech development continues and is a vital part of the country's economy. We’ve brought together three entrepreneurs to tell us about their work. Andrey Klen is co-founder of a number of tech businesses – including Petcube, O0 Design, and Spend With Ukraine. The platform brings together startups and tech companies in one place, making it easy for consumers to buy directly from Ukraine companies and therefore support the country’s economy. Also joining the show is Vira Tkachenko who is Chief Technology & Innovation Officer at MacPaw. In 2022, Forbes Ukraine named her on its list of the Top 25 women in IT. MacPaw develops and distributes software for macOS and iOS. And finally co-founder & CEO of Esper Bionics Dima Gazda. His human augmentation startup is working on the first bionic ecosystem in the world.
The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Peter Guest.
