Who made it into the top ten of the OpenDataBot Index 2026?
The total revenue of the top IT companies in the OpenDataBot Index 2026 amounted to 54.67 billion UAH. This is 3% less than the total revenue of the leading companies in 2025. The “entry ticket” to the top 10 companies is 2.69 billion UAH. The top three remained unchanged, but four new companies joined the list.
The top ten IT companies on the OpenDataBot Index 2026 generated 54.67 billion UAH in revenue. This is 3% less than the previous year. Despite this, the “entry threshold” for the top 10 remained virtually unchanged: while it was 2.6 billion UAH in 2025, it was 2.69 billion UAH in 2026.
The top three remained unchanged. First place is traditionally held by GlobalLogic Ukraine (GlobalLogic). Last year, the company lost 7% of its revenue but managed to increase its profit by 15%—to 748 million UAH. The company emphasizes that business stability is supported, in particular, by systematic social responsibility.
“Over 5,500 Ukrainian engineers at GlobalLogic are maintaining pre-war productivity levels while working on more than 500 international projects. Over the past year, the company has attracted 50 new clients, which supports business stability. At the same time, about 400 employees serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the company systematically supports charitable initiatives. “In particular, we recently doubled the team’s donation to Superhumans—contributing a total of 1.5 million UAH, which will fund prosthetics for three veterans. At the same time, GlobalLogic is developing veteran programs to help specialists return to work,” notes Anna Shcherbakova, Head of Operations, GlobalLogic Ukraine & EMEA.
Second and third places were shared by companies in the Epam group. Epam Systems saw its revenue decline by 10% to 10.22 billion UAH, while Epam Digital, on the contrary, grew to 9.24 billion UAH. Together, they generated UAH 19.46 billion in revenue—36% of the top ten’s total. At the same time, the combined profit of the two companies fell to UAH 1.78 billion.
Luxoft Solutions has held the fourth position for the third consecutive year. The company’s revenue also decreased by 11% to UAH 4.85 billion, while profit fell by 16% to UAH 220 million.
The company Kilobyte1024 is a newcomer to the ranking, immediately breaking into fifth place. The company’s revenue doubled to 4.41 billion UAH, and its profit reached a record 2.49 billion UAH for the top ten. In fact, the company replaced Fintech Band in the ranking—a business owned by the same founders, Oleg Gorokhovsky and Mykhailo Rogalsky, which lost more than half of its revenue over the year. The company attributes this success to three factors: steady business growth, international investments, and the implementation of AI.
“Kilobyte1024, part of the Fintech-IT Group, not only attracts international investments but also transforms them into stable financial results and long-term capitalization.
Our particular focus is on investing in artificial intelligence as the infrastructure of the future: from product automation to improving team efficiency. It is the combination of investment, technological depth, and a consistent approach that allows us to grow even in unstable conditions,” notes Kilobyte1024.
Another notable update occurred within the SoftServe group. Two new companies appeared in the ranking at once—SoftServe Digital and SoftServe Matrix. The former took sixth place, increasing revenue 1.7-fold to 3.75 billion UAH and achieving 100 times higher profit—214 million UAH.
Founded in 2024, SoftServe Matrix generated UAH 2.85 billion in revenue and increased its profit by 2.8 times—to UAH 143 million. Meanwhile, another company in the group, SoftServe Technologies, dropped out of the ranking. In total, the two SoftServe companies accounted for 12% of the Index’s total revenue.
The seventh position was taken by Tietoevry Create Ukraine, formerly known as Infopulse Ukraine. The company’s revenue decreased by 2% to 3.01 billion UAH. However, the company’s profit increased by 17% to 389 million UAH.
Intellias fell from fifth to ninth place, having lost nearly a third of its revenue and generating UAH 2.77 billion in 2025. The company’s profit also more than halved to UAH 136 million.
The tenth position is held by another newcomer to the ranking—Capgemini Ukraine, founded in March 2024. In just one year of operation, the company showed the largest revenue growth among the leaders: a 2.5-fold increase to 2.69 billion UAH. The company’s profit increased by 5% to 282.5 million UAH.
In addition to the previously mentioned SoftServe Technologies and Fintech Band, two more companies left the Index—Highload Solutions (Favbet) and SQUAD Ukraine (SQUAD), which also saw a decline in revenue.
Within a month of the index’s creation, some companies discovered errors in their financial statements and submitted revised data. As a result, TERRA-E-SOFT left the ranking, while Kapgemini moved into the top ten.

The international medical conference Breast Weekend 3.0 took place in Uzhhorod, focusing on modern approaches in breast surgery—including aesthetic plastic surgery, reconstructive surgery, and breast oncology.
The conference was opened by Uzhhorod Mayor Bohdan Andriyiv, who emphasized the importance of such events for the development of the city and region as a modern medical and professional hub.
The conference brought together Ukrainian and international specialists and served as a platform for interdisciplinary discussion of modern treatment methods, recovery, and aesthetic outcomes in patient care.
According to the organizers, a key feature of the event is the combination of oncological, reconstructive, and aesthetic approaches, which aligns with current global practice.
“Today, breast cancer treatment is a team effort. Oncology, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery cannot exist in isolation. It is their combination that allows us to achieve the best results for the patient—both medical and aesthetic,” said the conference’s main organizer and founder of the Lita Plus clinic, Serhiy Derbak.
This year, the conference featured international speakers from the Czech Republic, Germany, and Moldova, who traveled to Ukraine to exchange clinical experience and discuss modern approaches in breast surgery.
According to the organizers, the participation of European experts is a crucial component of the industry’s development, as it allows for the integration of Ukrainian experience into an international context and the formation of a shared professional environment.
The conference program devoted special attention to new trends in breast surgery. In particular, plastic surgeon Oleksandr Karpinsky presented the concept of “tissue preservation”—an approach that involves preserving tissues and utilizing natural anatomical structures during surgery.
“Today we are living in a period of changing philosophy in plastic surgery. The current trend is minimal trauma. We work with anatomy while preserving tissues, which allows us to significantly shorten the recovery period and at the same time achieve stable results. This is a new stage in the development of breast surgery,” — noted Karpinsky.
According to him, this approach is already actively used abroad in aesthetic surgery and will shape the development of the field in the coming years.
Uzhhorod Mayor Bohdan Andriyiv emphasized the importance of hosting international medical events for the region’s development.
“Hosting such conferences is a key factor in the development of the city and the region. It fosters a professional environment, attracts international partners, and shapes Uzhhorod’s image as a platform for medical advancement and professional exchange,” he noted.
The conference was held with the support of the Ukrainian Association of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Dermatological Aesthetic Surgery and Oncoplastic Mammology (UPRADAS) and included a charitable component—a portion of the proceeds was directed toward supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The organizers note that Breast Weekend 3.0 marked another step in building a professional community that advances modern approaches to breast surgery and interdisciplinary collaboration in Ukraine.
Home sales to foreigners in Turkey in March 2026 fell by 20% year-over-year to 1,353 units, with Ukrainian citizens failing to make the top three list of foreign buyers. This is according to March statistics from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK).
According to March data, Russian citizens took first place among foreign buyers, purchasing 229 properties. Iranian citizens came in second with 130 transactions, and Iraqi citizens came in third with 84 purchases.
Previously, Ukrainian citizens had consistently been among the largest foreign buyers of housing in Turkey. As previously reported by the Open4Business portal, in January 2026, Ukrainians ranked third among foreign buyers, purchasing 77 properties, trailing only Russian citizens with 219 purchases and Iranian citizens with 118. For the full year 2025, Ukraine also ranked third: Ukrainian citizens purchased 1,541 residential properties in Turkey, while Russians bought 3,649 properties and Iranians 1,878.
Overall, the Turkish housing market showed mixed trends in March. The total number of housing sales in the country decreased by 2.1% compared to March 2025, to 113,367 units. At the same time, mortgage sales rose by 35.9%, to 25,978, and new home sales increased by 1.3%, to 35,725.
Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir remained the largest markets by number of transactions in March. Istanbul accounted for 21,665 sales, Ankara for 10,236, and Izmir for 7,278.
TK-Home Textiles, part of the Textile-Contact (TK Group) of companies, shipped goods worth over EUR160,000 to a customer in Denmark, marking the largest export shipment since the start of this year, according to TK Group owner Oleksandr Sokolovskyi.
“We’ve had our largest export shipment since the start of the year—two full truckloads of products manufactured by TK-Home Textiles were shipped to Denmark. And this is just for one client who started working with us very cautiously last year but has already increased the order volume fivefold since the start of the year compared to 2025,” Sokolovsky wrote on Facebook.
He reported that the shipment included jackets, thermal underwear, knitwear (sweaters, hats, scarves), and children’s shoes.
“And while we’ve only recently started manufacturing shoes ourselves at the factory in Chyhyryn (which we took over), we’ve been sewing all other items for a long time at our own production facilities in Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Odesa. Cotton fabrics and insulation (siliconized synthetic down) also come from our own factories, which allows us to minimize costs and remain independent of imports with their constant logistical risks,” the post reads.
Sokolovsky emphasized that the company’s European partners primarily value geographical proximity and fast logistics; full-cycle, diversified production—from the creation of threads and fabric to the finished product; the quality of natural cotton materials; consistent quality control at every stage; as well as “fair and competitive prices.”
“The last point is very important because all customers are counting their money, and we have to withstand fierce competition from Chinese, Turkish, and other powerful manufacturers who, at the same time, operate in peaceful and stable conditions without facing our military, energy, personnel, and other risks,” he emphasized.
Sokolovsky also added that it has become more difficult for Ukrainian manufacturers to “compete” for European customers, and the company must constantly prove that even in the event of force majeure at any of the TK-Group factories, other factories will cover the orders and the products will be shipped on time.
“While in 2022–2023 European customers genuinely sympathized with us and sincerely tried to support us with orders, over the past couple of years—even when we offer competitive prices and guarantee quality—it has been very difficult to turn discussions into signed contracts. Whether they’ve ‘grown tired’ of our war, whether their insurance companies are giving them a hard time, or whether it’s just politics—who knows… But their protocols point to risks, and it’s easier for them to turn us down and shift orders somewhere in Asia,” he wrote.
In addition, the owner of “TK-Group” emphasized that we must fight for every foreign client also because demand for textile products in the domestic market has significantly decreased for obvious reasons (population decline and reduced purchasing power).
“Cheap imports, mostly contraband, have unfortunately not disappeared either,” the post notes.
“TK-Home Textiles” is a leading manufacturer of fabrics, home textiles, and children’s products in Ukraine. Its portfolio of assets includes one of the few finishing factories in Ukraine producing cotton fabrics in Chernihiv, “TK-DT Chernihiv.” Its assets also include sewing factories in Kyiv, Ternopil, Chernihiv, and Odesa; a shoe factory in Chyhyryn; a knitting facility; and a synthetic fiber production facility in Chernihiv.
As reported, the countries importing “TK DT” products include Denmark, Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, Georgia, France, Romania, Sweden, and Slovakia.
TK Group was founded in 1995. It currently operates as a holding company that encompasses the full range of services in the textile industry—from raw materials and yarns to finished solutions for B2B, B2G, and B2C clients. The group’s founder is Sokolovsky, chairman of the Light Industry Defense Procurement Committee at the Federation of Employers of Ukraine.
Amid an industrial downturn and challenges in the automotive sector, Germany is indeed accelerating the reorientation of some of its production capacity toward defense products; however, this does not mean a complete abandonment of the automotive industry, but rather a significant strengthening of the defense-industrial sector. The Wall Street Journal reports on this, and other international media outlets have previously confirmed specific examples of this shift.
According to the WSJ, Berlin is attempting to utilize idle capacity, engineering expertise, and the workforce of traditional industries—primarily the automotive sector—to expand the production of defense-related goods. The newspaper links this shift to the industrial downturn, rising defense spending in Germany and Europe, as well as heightened security threats amid Russia’s war against Ukraine and Europe’s declining confidence in long-term U.S. guarantees.
Part of this trend has already been confirmed at the level of specific companies. For instance, Reuters previously reported that Rheinmetall intended to repurpose two of its automotive plants in Germany for primarily defense production, retaining only a portion of civilian output. Additionally, Volkswagen is exploring the possibility of using its site in Osnabrück to manufacture military equipment, though it emphasized that no final production decisions have been made yet.
Another example is the negotiations regarding the potential production of components for the Iron Dome air defense system at one of Volkswagen’s German plants. However, Reuters separately noted that the automaker itself ruled out the production of weapons per se and spoke only of exploring options for utilizing the facility and producing components.
At the same time, pressure on the German auto industry is mounting. Reuters reported in February that nearly half of the auto suppliers surveyed were cutting jobs in Germany, and the industry association VDA described the situation as a crisis. Against this backdrop, the defense sector is becoming one of the few growing markets with a long-term order horizon for some manufacturers.
An additional factor has been the sharp intensification of Germany’s own defense policy. Following changes to budget rules and an expansion of borrowing capacity, Berlin has gained the leeway to significantly increase military spending in the coming years. Reuters previously reported that Germany’s total defense spending could rise from €95.1 billion in the 2025 draft budget to €161.8 billion by 2029, while the total volume of potential borrowing for defense in 2025–2029 was estimated at €380 billion.

The establishment of the first Ukrainian agri-hub in Ghana is a positive step toward expanding Ukraine’s presence in the African market, however, to establish a foothold in the region, Ukraine must engage international financial institutions as guarantors of security and transition from exporting raw materials to supplying value-added products, stated Leonid Kozachenko, President of the Ukrainian Agrarian Confederation (UAC).
“Africa is a complex region, but at the same time, it is the continent that suffers most from food shortages in the world. Ukraine produces five times more food than it consumes itself. Therefore, expanding our presence in the African market means both saving lives and opening up enormous economic prospects,” he said on Ukrainian Radio.
According to him, previous attempts by Ukrainian businesses to invest in production in Africa or to independently supply grain often resulted in financial losses and incidents of piracy due to political instability. To minimize such risks, Kozachenko proposes involving UN agencies, particularly the FAO, and global financial institutions that can act as intermediaries and guarantors of trade transactions.
Currently, Ukrainian goods account for less than 5% of total imports to African countries. To increase volumes, the expert advises drawing on the experience of Turkey and the UAE, which supply the continent not with raw materials but with finished products—flour, pasta, and grains.
According to Kozachenko, the state’s strategic goal should be to attract approximately $85–90 billion in investments over the next 10 years specifically for domestic processing. This would allow annual agricultural exports to increase from the current $27 billion to over $120 billion.
When assessing potential locations for a hub, the head of the UAC noted that West Africa is a challenging region due to internal conflicts. He considers North Africa, particularly Morocco, to be a more promising destination for logistics centers, as it has a more stable economy and opportunities for further distribution of products across the continent.
