The Gap

Bridging the distance between Ukrainian innovation and Asian markets

Market Access Gap

Only 5% of Ukrainian tech companies have established presence in APAC markets despite the region's $2.5T digital economy

Investment Flow

Less than 2% of Asian tech investments reach Ukrainian startups, missing out on Ukraine's $6.8B IT export potential

Knowledge Exchange

Limited institutional partnerships between Ukraine and APAC result in missed opportunities for tech talent development
