ITBridge: An Innovative Project for Ukraine-EU Digital Integration
IT ClusterOn February 1, ITBridge was launched — an international project uniting three leading IT clusters of Ukraine — Kharkiv IT Cluster, IT Dnipro Community, and Odesa IT Family — with European IT clusters: Transilvania IT Cluster (Romania) and Digital Cluster of Catalonia (Spain).
The initiative aims to strengthen cooperation between Ukraine and the EU in the digital sector, integrate Ukrainian companies into European markets, and adapt Ukrainian IT clusters and IT companies to European models and strategies in the digital sector.
Key Objectives of ITBridge
Strengthening IT Clusters as Centers of Digital Transformation.
ITBridge will help IT clusters increase their resilience and adaptability through training, networking, and knowledge exchange.
Integrating Ukrainian IT into European Markets.
ITBridge will support business internationalization, helping Ukrainian IT companies establish collaboration with EU businesses.
Harmonizing Digital Strategies of Ukraine and Europe.
ITBridge will facilitate the joint development of strategies to synchronize Ukraine’s and Europe’s digital economies and foster long-term cooperation.
ITBridge as a Way to the EU Digital Single Market
ITBridge is more than just a project — it is a real mechanism for integrating Ukraine into the EU Digital Single Market. Participation in this initiative is a valuable opportunity for the Kharkiv IT Cluster. Together with ITBridge partners, we will expand opportunities for Ukrainian IT companies, open access to new markets, and drive digital transformation.
Ahead lies the implementation of large-scale initiatives that will further integrate Ukraine into the European tech ecosystem.
Join us in developing international partnerships together with the Kharkiv IT Cluster!
