• DIGITAL SME welcomes UA Tech Club to the community of digital SMEs across Europe and looks forward to supporting the Ukrainian tech sector affected by the Russian invasion.

The Alliance warmly welcomes UA Tech Club from Ukraine as its newest member. The Club is a non-profit organisation whose members are tech entrepreneurs and CEOs. Its primary purpose is to foster cooperation, protection and representation of the Ukrainian ICT sector at a national and global level.

Since the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the activities of the UA Tech Club have been focused on rebuilding the Ukrainian tech industry by supporting the relocation of companies’ employees and providing mentorship and assistance to the members.

The European DIGITAL SME Alliance looks forward to collaborating with the UA Tech Club and supporting the Ukrainian ICT sector. “DIGITAL SME strongly condemn the unilateral aggression of Russia. We want to ensure the resilience and sustainability of Ukrainian ICT SMEs and work together towards a brighter future”, said DIGITAL SME President Dr Oliver Grün.

“We are delighted to join the European DIGITAL SME Alliance and sure that our partnership will allow the UA Tech Club to widen our network for collaboration, give more support to Ukrainian tech companies, launch new projects and bring us closer to the common European victory against the aggression,” said UA Tech Club’s COO Alisa Kostenko.

UA Tech Club joins our SME family of 45,000 companies across the European Union. The European DIGITAL SME Alliance is the largest network of ICT small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Europe.

DIGITAL SME looks forward to facilitating the cooperation between EU and Ukrainian business associations to strengthen support for their SMEs. DIGITAL SME is also open to welcoming other Ukrainian associations. For enquiries related to membership, please contact Giulia Zampedri (g.zampedri@digitalsme.eu).
