As we announced back in April 2015, Odesa IT companies, including Intersog, gathered to discuss whether Ukraine's Top 5 IT city needs their own IT Cluster, i.e., consolidation of all software industry players, both product companies and software development outsourcing service providers, for the purpose of improving local tech education, investment attractiveness and collaboration between business and state authorities, as well as sharing knowledge and deals in order to keep them within a region.
On August 17, 2015, the Odessa IT community officially announced the launch of the Odessa IT Cluster based out of Terminal 42 co-working space. Over 30 local tech companies have already supported the initiative, including Intersog, Augmented Pixels, Clickky, Luxoft, NetCracker, Provectus, DataArt, Lohika, and Ciklum Sigma, and many others. Some of the city's IT educational centers and projects have supported the Cluster, including Hillel International School, GeeksLab, and our Intersog Labs.
IT Cluster members have created a Roadmap of mobile app development projects and initiatives that will kick off starting September 2015. To learn more about Odessa IT Cluster, please check out the following resources: the official website and Facebook page.
