The Chernihiv IT Cluster has appealed to the authorities with a proposal to extend the government resolution, which allows critical businesses in front-line regions to reserve up to 100% of their employees, to the Chernihiv region.
DOU writes about this with reference to cluster information.
According to the position of the cluster participants, the situation in the Chernihiv region is no different from other dangerous territories: frequent shelling, strikes on infrastructure, power outages, which leads to the expenditure of significant funds to ensure energy independence.
«It turns out that we work in more difficult conditions, but on the same terms as companies from safer regions,» comments the company participating in the Snovio cluster.
The cluster explains that businesses cannot plan work in advance and guarantee the retention of key specialists, which makes it more difficult for companies to build projects, work with clients, and attract investments.
«The inability to book all specialists creates serious uncertainty for the business. This complicates project planning, communication with clients, and attracting investment,» Speroteck emphasizes.
Cluster participants are convinced that even a partial booking of 75% would significantly help companies in the region and motivate them to stay in Chernihiv.
«Despite all the difficulties, we continue to work in Chernihiv, pay taxes, and provide jobs. We have always been and remain patriots of our city, but maintaining a business in the current conditions is becoming increasingly difficult,» states the PamPam game development studio, which is also part of the cluster.
We would like to remind you that the list of territories where hostilities are/were ongoing is approved by the Ministry of Community and Territorial Development, and currently includes Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson regions.
Currently, the Chernihiv IT Cluster has nine companies operating in the areas of e-commerce, business process automation, and software development.
Recently, dev.ua reported that only 13% of men in IT have a reservation against mobilization from their main employer, most of them work in government agencies and IT departments of non-tech companies.
Meanwhile, the government has determined that companies that develop defense technologies without involving budget funds and work on the basis of contracts with the Ministry of Defense may receive the status of critical enterprises.
