Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov said that 220 companies are already registered on the CodeUA platform.
«Basically, it’s like Upwork for global business and Ukrainian IT. A global company enters the platform, selects a category and determines the task executor. 220 companies have already registered on CodeUA, and another 30 are in the process of verification. So why is this project important for Ukrainian IT specialists and, in general, for Ukraine as a technological state,» Fedorov wrote in a column for Channel 24.
«We launched the CodeUA platform so that Ukrainian IT specialists can find partners among top global businesses. We must create the most favorable conditions for our IT companies so that they stay in Ukraine and work, attracting money from all over the world. To do this, we are doing many different things, one of which is the launch of CodeUA. In the first hours alone, 50,000+ people visited the site,» he noted.
We will remind you that CodeUA is a marketplace whose main purpose is matchmaking of global and Ukrainian companies. The Ministry of Digitization worked on the project together with the Lviv IT cluster and with the support of the USAID program «Competitive Economy of Ukraine». Ukrainian IT companies that already have successful technological cases known both in Ukraine and in the world can register on the CodeUA platform. Each is verified.
To get on CodeUA, a company must meet a number of criteria:
not to have in the structure persons who are on the sanction lists of international organizations;
be officially registered under the laws of Ukraine or the jurisdiction of the establishment and have an official representative office in Ukraine;
have a perfect reputation.
Among the registrants are powerful service and product companies such as N-iX, Sigma Software, SoftServe, Intellias, etc.
Everything works very simply: the customer goes to CodeUA, selects the order category. For example, application development, CRM systems, AI technology, etc. The platform selects companies that specialize in these tasks. After that, the customer can choose from the list the company that suits him in terms of cases, cost of work, deadlines, etc. We also plan to integrate an AI assistant that will help in the selection of partner companies.
There is another way: the company can place its own order on the CodeUA platform and choose an artist among those who respond to the ad. At the same time, the customer receives additional benefits: no commission for the contract, legal support, the opportunity to leave feedback, etc.
