Over 2,500 visitors and more than 60 programs: an overview of the Svoe.IT 2025 showroom in Kyiv
On Friday, May 9, the Mystetskyi Arsenal in Kyiv became a gathering place for everyone who creates, develops, and implements Ukrainian technological solutions. The third national showroom of Ukrainian software, Svoe.IT 2025, brought together over 55 Ukrainian developers and more than 2,500 participants from all over the country.
This is not just an exhibition, but a platform for testing solutions in action: CRM and ERP systems, document management software, accounting software, call center software, website and application development, payment services, POS systems, software for the public sector, EDTech solutions, and more.
Event format
Traditionally, the event was held in a showroom format to simplify the process of finding the necessary software for visitors. Guests could “try on” and test programs on site, conduct a full test drive, and get advice on their implementation. Most importantly, they could understand whether a particular software would meet their business needs.

Svoe.IT and Ukraine’s digital sovereignty
This year’s event was dedicated to the topic of Ukraine’s digital sovereignty — the state’s ability to independently control, protect, and develop its own IT infrastructure without critical dependence on foreign technologies.
“Digital sovereignty is not an abstract concept, but a real necessity for Ukraine in the context of war. Svoe.IT demonstrates that we already have our own powerful solutions that can replace foreign or Russian software. When we choose our own, we protect the state, support the economy, and build an independent technological future,” said Nazar Kurochko, CEO of GigaCloud, in his speech.
Nazariy emphasized that high-quality software is not only created in the capital. Khmelnytskyi, Chernivtsi, Kryvyi Rih, Poltava, Dnipro, Uzhhorod, and Ivano-Frankivsk are regions that are full-fledged players in the market. With this in mind, GigaCloud plans to expand the geography of Svoe.IT by organizing regional events to support local developers and strengthen the presence of Ukrainian IT solutions in every corner of the country.
The event also featured panel discussions with business and government representatives. Experts discussed issues related to countering hostile software, integrating AI into domestic developments, what is needed for the development of the technology industry, and practical case studies of solutions for small and medium-sized businesses.
Throughout the event, funds were raised for the needs of soldiers from the 46th separate brigade. Cloud provider GigaCloud launched the fundraiser together with the Tycho Charitable Foundation, and anyone could contribute with a donation. The fundraiser is still ongoing, and anyone who wishes to contribute can do so via this link.
The general partners of the event were IT Ukraine Association and UKRSIBBANK BNP Paribas Group. Diia.City Union and EIT, the Ukrainian hub of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, organized the Tech Ecosystem Stage. Diia.City United organized a chamber event, Diia.City Square, during the event.
The Svoe.IT 2025 showroom demonstrated the existence of competitive Ukrainian developments in various market segments. GigaCloud announced further steps in the development of the project, including regional events, and therefore Svoe.IT remains a platform for the dissemination of domestic technological solutions and discussion of key issues of the country’s digital development.

Most Ukrainians currently do not have a clearly defined attitude towards Kyrgyzstan. This is evidenced by the results of a nationwide sociological survey conducted by Active Group and the Experts Club analytical center in April 2025.
According to the survey, 64.3% of respondents said their attitude toward Kyrgyzstan was neutral. Only 21.3% of Ukrainians said they had a positive attitude (15.0% — mostly positive, 6.4% — completely positive).
A negative opinion was expressed by 9.5% of respondents: in particular, 7.9% said they were mostly negative, and 1.7% said they were completely negative. Another 4.9% of respondents abstained from answering.
Experts note that the high level of neutrality indicates low public awareness of this country and the absence of an active information field.

Most Ukrainians have a positive attitude towards Kazakhstan, but a significant proportion of respondents remain neutral. This is evidenced by the results of a sociological survey conducted by Active Group in cooperation with the Experts Club analytical center in April 2025.
According to the survey, 45.8% of respondents have a positive attitude toward Kazakhstan: 34.2% are mostly positive, and 11.6% are completely positive. At the same time, 47.3% of respondents took a neutral position.
Only 3.9% expressed a negative attitude (in particular, 3.0% mostly negative and 0.9% completely negative). Another 3.0% of respondents abstained from answering.
Analysts explain the results by Kazakhstan’s stable image as a partner country with which Ukrainians do not associate conflict narratives. At the same time, the high level of neutrality indicates limited communication at the cultural and informational levels.

According to the results of a sociological survey conducted by Active Group in collaboration with Experts Club in April 2025, the attitude of Ukrainians towards Israel is mostly positive.
Thus, 42.1% of respondents expressed a positive attitude toward Israel (33.1% — mostly positive, 9.0% — completely positive). A neutral position was taken by 39.8% of respondents.

“According to Ukrainian citizens, Israel is perceived very positively, both because of historical ties and because of the image of the country as a high-tech state with competent healthcare and a high standard of living,” said Maksim Urakin, candidate of economic sciences and founder of the Experts Club information and analytical center.
Experts note that the positive perception of Israel among Ukrainians may be linked to diplomatic relations, humanitarian aid, and the country’s technological development.
