At IT Arena 2025, Linkos Group, together with Vector Media, established a special award for the most interesting startup. This partnership is a new step in supporting young teams presenting their ideas at the country’s largest technology event.
It is symbolic that it was Linkos Group — a company with over 25 years of experience in creating innovative solutions for business — that selected the winner and presented the award this year. For Linkos Group experts, this is not only support for promising ideas, but also a contribution to the development of the Ukrainian technological ecosystem.
The award went to StackBob, a Ukrainian startup developing an AI platform for employee identity and access management. The platform automates employee login and logout processes, manages passwords and licenses, significantly increasing corporate security.
«At Linkos Group, we have been creating products that work in the most demanding areas for over two decades — electronic document management, reporting, ERP systems, cloud signatures. For us, security, compliance, and transparency are not just principles, but the foundation of every solution. That is why we chose StackBob as the winner of the startup competition: their product solves a critical business problem — secure and transparent management of access to digital services. This is an innovation that helps companies optimize costs, strengthen control, and at the same time maintain the trust of employees. We consider such a balance of practical benefits and technological sophistication to be a sign of a world-class startup,» said Olesya Linnyk, Managing Partner of Linkos Group.
«For Vector, this was an example of business logic. Startups that receive attention from specialized media receive more than just an award. It is a signal of trust for investors, the market, and partners. And this, in my opinion, is the greatest value of the new award. As with the audio voiceover feature of articles from Respeecher, this is an example of the formation of new rules of the game: when visibility and trust become as important assets as investments or technology,» said Ismail Osbanov, CEO of Vector.
For Linkos Group, this initiative was a logical continuation of the company’s mission to promote digitalization and support innovations that help businesses grow. For Vector, it was a confirmation of the role of media as a driver of technological culture.
