When using the Internet, people around the world interact with solutions created with the participation of Ukrainian specialists about 50 times a day. Ukrainian engineers are behind the development of technologies for blood donation, autopilot for cars, Wi-Fi router security, creation of global music hits, and many others. GlobalLogic has shown how developments with the participation of Ukrainian engineers influence the world.
In the global IT market, Ukrainian engineers are valued for their talent, technical competencies, and, as the past year has shown, their resilience and ability to achieve results under any circumstances. In 2022, the IT industry was the only one in Ukraine that grew even during a full-scale war and continues to play an important role in the development of technology in the world. This is how GlobalLogic explained how their projects improve the quality of life for millions of people around the world.
For example, more than 22 million people use the solutions of Ukrainian specialists in the medical field: 70% of the Western medical market works with blood donation equipment software developed in Ukraine. Over the past few years, engineers have also been helping to develop a new generation of defibrillators for special services, including the military and police, and have created controlled pain management implants and sophisticated resuscitation equipment that is also used in Ukraine.
In the field of safety, Ukrainian engineers are involved in the development of an autopilot whose technology can prevent more than 50,000 accidents worldwide every year. And 23 million European Wi-Fi router users are protected from cyber threats thanks to a solution developed in Ukraine. It is in partnership with the Ukrainian team that a software and hardware complex based on Wi-Fi technology has been developed that allows for wireless broadband communication within a radius of up to 100 kilometers from the base station. This technology is of particular importance for regions where it is impossible to lay wired Internet, such as in remote areas, or even in disaster zones and rescue teams’ workplaces.
In the telecommunications sector, Ukrainians create digital products for 3 of the 5 largest telecommunications equipment manufacturers in the world, developing technologies that are used by 50% of all mobile and Internet subscribers. And more than 70% of the world’s commercial music is created thanks to developments involving Ukrainian engineers. In particular, this software is used by such global music giants as Maroon 5 and Linkin Park, and by the sound studios that created the soundtrack to the Game of Thrones series.
“Today, the IT industry is one of the pillars of Ukraine’s economic sustainability, and our specialists are actively involved in global technological progress. We see that leading international companies are interested in working with us, but they are concerned about the timely implementation of projects in Ukraine under current conditions,” says Andriy Yavorsky, Senior Vice President of GlobalLogic. – “Therefore, it is very important to resolve the issue of booking engineers and allow working meetings abroad. This way we will be able to sign new contracts and provide guarantees to customers. And this means new investments, economic growth, and maintaining the status of an IT power.”
