Investor Relations & Capital Introduction in Lviv

Lviv is the largest city in western Ukraine and one of the country's leading IT hubs, with a large community of software engineers and close links to Poland and the European Union. For founders in software, IT services and defence technology, it offers deep talent and a relatively stable operating base.

Why Lviv Matters for Capital Raising

SoftServe, one of Central and Eastern Europe's largest IT services companies, was founded in Lviv in 1993, and the city has a strong IT cluster of product and services companies.

Since 2022, many Ukrainian companies have relocated teams to Lviv, strengthening its role as a centre of software, engineering and dual-use technology.

Ivan Franko National University, founded in 1661, and Lviv Polytechnic supply engineering and business talent, and the city is close to the Polish border.
