This year, for several seasons in a row, we are thrilled to be a partner of Startup Track within IT Arena – Eastern Europe’s largest tech and startup event. With 24,000 attendees, 800 outstanding speakers, 700 hours of exciting networking, and 988 startups, IT Arena marks its decade in tech. This year’s conference is expected to gather 5000 attendees and will take place at the historical sites of Lviv from September 29 to October 1 in the renewed format: with more inspiring speakers, global networking, and vibrant venues.
Three days of the conference will be divided into four main tracks: Business, Tech, Product, and Startup. We at Sigma Software Labs are involved as partners of Startup Track, featuring a premier Startup Competition for Ukrainian teams. Despite the challenging situation in the country, the startup landscape continues to show resilience and overall growth in the MilTech sector. So, in 2023, IT Arena will also partner with Brave 1, the Defense Technology Development Cluster, and introduce a special category for military tech startups.
As part of the Startup Competition, we offer a unique partner award to the selected finalists of the Startup Competition. The award includes a six-month residence in our Synergetic Spaces, located in major IT hubs across Ukraine. This opportunity aims to provide the winning team with an ideal environment to accelerate their growth, access valuable resources, and collaborate with like-minded entrepreneurs.
“Startups are the driving force behind progress, and through this collaboration, we aim to create a positive impact on their journey towards success. We consider IT Arena as a transformative event for Ukrainian teams, making a significant impact on the overall ecosystem’s growth and development. Last year Labs’ partner award was taken by the INPUT SOFT, which later became not just our portfolio company, but rather a partner. Hope for even more such cases in the future, and are looking forward to empowering brave teams to turn their visions into reality”
