Charge d'Affaires a.i. Ihor Holovchenko spoke about the advantages of the Ukrainian IT services market for Norway in his speech at Oslo Innovation Week. “Low labor costs combined with professionalism; flexibility and readiness to develop rapidly; unique experience in developing practical solutions to numerous challenges related to Russia's full-scale invasion: these are three things you should know about Ukraine,” he emphasized.

More than 50 participants of the event “From Ukraine to Norway: IT Innovation and Partnership”, organized by the Norwegian-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and the IT Ukraine Association, exchanged experience in the IT sector in Ukraine and Norway, considered opportunities for innovation in the industry and discussed Ukraine's investment potential.

Norway, which is experiencing a shortage of IT specialists, can benefit from importing IT services from Ukraine and using the experience of Ukrainian companies in creating innovative startups and cybersecurity solutions. Ukrainian participants drew the attention of the Norwegian side to the size of the Ukrainian IT market and the readiness of Ukrainian companies to scale and innovate.

The event became an important platform for knowledge exchange and partnerships between representatives of both countries.
