We intend to create a model that will help young talents reach their true potential and turn their dreams into reality. Cutting-edge technologies are generated by people, and our goal is to provide them with all necessary means that include environment and knowledge. K.Fund brings infrastructure and educational solutions to the table. BlackBox Capital’s team will be dealing with everything associated with management in technology sector. This initiative has truly every tool to speed up development of IT industry and the country, in general.

The majority of Ukrainian IT companies operates on the basis of outsourcing model, selling “working hours” of their employees and completing assignments entrusted by the foreign customers. This significantly limits the resources of Ukrainian entrepreneurs, blocking the growth and development of Ukrainian technology companies. Launch of TCDC’s model in Ukraine shall increase the likelihood of product technology companies’ emergence. Our success lies in the growth of residents’ businesses by at least 30% per annum.

My company is a co-founder of SILESIAN ICT CLUSTER. Companies that belong to the cluster, from one hand, really compete on the market, but, from the other hand, working together they reveal wider business opportunities for themselves.

I also used to be a consultant and co-founder of Technologic Park. The difference is that a cluster - is only a certain agreement between different companies, typically from one field, whilst park - is an investment into real estate, which value grows thanks to the activities of companies, that rent spaces from it.

m How do you think we should build cooperation between, for instance, Polish and Ukrainian clusters so that it would be beneficial for both of them?

First of all, we have to sign a two-side agreement, which would probably be formal at the first stage. Then we will probably need to meet cluster’s participants. As the cluster itself can be a much more effective platform for contact, than its managing company.

m How to create a successful cluster? What is you opinion?

A cluster begins from a real need of the companies from one field of activity. Building a cluster by order «from above» is usually bad idea.

I have carefully studied the materials of pilot project and possible future expansion of the network of such centers.

To my mind, such initiative, in case of its consistent professional implementation, may result in a considerable market success and provide high returns on the initial investment within 5-7 years.

Ukrainian ecosystem of innovations is now at its early stage of development and many market niches are just being filled, including the sphere of systemic infrastructure institutions. Bold and ambitious teams can and will take up leadership positions in these niches.

It’s a global trend to develop specially designed spaces for open communication and practical interaction of entrepreneurs, specialists and investors in various technological sectors. Such places in a number of cases (counties) become new power centers, give impetus to the development of new practices, new relationships, and new industries.

It is important to integrate it into the global ecosystem of innovations from the very beginning: to build cooperation with clusters from other countries, with international business associations, investors, universities. It’s important to set clear positioning at the international market - what is the unique input of this cluster in the global value chain of innovations.

And finally, it’s important to study and adopt international best practices, and at the same time to be not afraid to experiment and adjust dynamically. As nowadays market moves forward at amazing speeds, and the approaches that were breakthrough and effective yesterday, may hinder you today.

It’s crucial for such cluster to be operated by entrepreneurs who work at the international market. Besides, it needs modern knowledge - both in technology and in business, as these two areas are closely connected now.

m Why do you think this initiative is up-to-date?

Many talented people are being taken from Ukraine and their inventions are being sold at little cost. If solid specialists stay here, they would create a basis for rich country in future. The process is not quick, but someone has to start it as long as the government does the opposite.

Majority of IT companies in Ukraine works by the outsourcing model, selling work hours of their employees and performing tasks, set by the foreign clients. This restricts opportunities of Ukrainian entrepreneurs and also the growth and development of technology companies in Ukraine.

Launch of CDTC model increases probability of appearance of product technology companies.
