The launch of the government project «Diya.City Invest» aims to create a favorable environment for venture investments in the Ukrainian IT sector. However, despite the obvious advantages, the legal regime of this instrument contains nuances that can become both a driver for business and a source of risks for investors. After all, any good initiatives can lose their attractiveness due to gaps in law enforcement.

A little less than two months have passed since Donald Trump’s inauguration, and Ukrainians have already stopped counting the number of cases when his statements, and most importantly, his steps, have caused at least surprise, and usually a slight (the stage may vary) shock. Unfortunately, in the conditions of a full-scale war with the Russian Federation, Ukraine is too dependent on the American international position, aid, weapons, and intelligence not to worry about this. But still, as Trump himself said, referring to his detachment from events in Europe, «there is an ocean between us.» Therefore, dev.ua decided to ask Ukrainian IT professionals and representatives of the technology sector who live and work on the other side of the ocean — directly in the USA. We asked them to share their thoughts on how much, in their opinion, the new format of US international policy will affect the country’s economy and specifically the American tech sector. Could this also have consequences for their own jobs and financial security (if they work for American companies). What are the moods of representatives of the tech sector caused by the declaration of trade wars and sharp jumps in stock markets, do Ukrainians discuss this with their colleagues, and is political and economic turbulence really felt in American society?
