Ukraine's Vice Prime Minister Serhiy Tyhypko announced that the country’s exports of computer software reached 1 billion USD in 2010. Ukraine – the world's fifth biggest IT services exporter – doubles its IT services exports every year, making IT the fastest growing export-oriented sector of the country.
"The steel export totals 2.8 billion USD, the export of agricultural products is up at 9.5 billion USD, and chemical products export reached 3.5 billion USD. And the export of software products is worth 1 billion USD. Moreover, the inflow doubles each year," said the Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine.
In terms of IT services and software engineering, Ukraine primarily places emphasis on its deep talent pool. With 14,000 IT specialists graduating from Ukrainian universities each year, the country holds the fourth position in the world in the number of IT specialists, following the USA, India, and Russia. On top of that, the experts recognize both quantitative and qualitative potential of the Ukrainian specialists.
By the way, there has recently appeared a monument to IT specialists in the Eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. The monument is placed outside of the Kharkiv National Radioelectronics University and depicts a young IT student holding an opened laptop. He is deep in his thoughts, perhaps thinking of creating a software program which could eclipse Microsoft.
