Arriving in a new country always requires a reorientation. TackTech Ukraina is an apolitical association designed to assist in arriving members of the Ukrainian Tech Community in Sweden. The project's structure has been based on Waza.nu, a network for Polish innovators and entrepreneurs in Sweden. The association structure is based on best practices from trilateral experience and the triumphant assistance of Ukrainian members of the high-tech community who had to relocate to Sweden after February 24th, 2022. After a successful launch of multiple meetups, TackTech.se is delighted to release that one-on-one cooperation with individuals who can assist in the process of discovering Sweden's cultural and business codes and is willing to exchange their experience with the new arrival from Ukraine. This mentorship program has been specifically designed to empower and support Ukrainian specialists in the tech industry. We aim to create a beneficial and impactful experience for anyone participating in the program, be it a mentor or mentee. Our goal is to match them in between according to mentees' needs and mentors' expertise.
