activity remained strong
with a few significant
exits and investments
Sustained interest from buy-side SoftDev industry trends
• Larger established players consolidate the
industry, harnessing synergies
• Several international strategic players
including public players and PE funds
demonstrate continuing interest in acquiring
Ukrainian assets
• Strong trend for industry consolidation
• Companies hire globally or nationwide amid
remote or hybrid work format
