Description
Subscriber-only episode Tech in Ukraine after two years of war Two years ago Russia invaded Ukraine and in that time, the country’s already booming tech sector has adapted and changed rapidly. In 2022 it was service led, providing IT development for companies outside its borders. Now though things have changed significantly and not only are the tech savvy helping the war effort, but many entrepreneurs are also looking to the future and planning on rebuilding a Smart Ukraine. Iryna Volnytska is the President of SET University, which was set up just a week before the war started. It’s now providing training for many women who hope to work remotely in the tech sector and it’s introducing undergraduate degrees that can be undertaken in other countries before students return to Kiev for the final year.  We also speak to Bhaskar Chakravorti, Dean of Global Business at The Fletcher School at Tufts University in the US who has  been researching the digital economy in the Ukraine.  The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Angelica Mari.
