Legend has it that long ago, back in the days of the very first startups and buzzing servers, the mysterious “places of power” were born. No one knows exactly when or where it happened. Some say it all began in tiny server rooms where developers stayed late after work. Over cups of coffee, they talked not only about bugs and code but also about big ideas and dreams that reached far beyond the glow of their monitors.
Over time, these spaces expanded beyond the walls of offices. They began to emerge at hackathons, meetups, and conferences — places where different companies, teams, and even competitors came together to share knowledge and experience. Here, partnerships were born, some of which went on to transform entire industries.
Today, these “places of power” have become even more expansive. They exist not only offline but also in global online communities, where borders between countries, languages, and time zones disappear. Here, in chats and virtual meetups, ideas are born that can soar far beyond any office walls.
For our team, one of these very special places of power is the Diia.City United events, where you can truly feel the magic of Ukrainian IT. Recently, we attended two events that brought us both inspiration and practical insights:
- Q&A session with Oleh and Oleksiy Shcherbatenko, co-owners of IT-Enterprise — a warm, honest conversation about building a business that thrives for decades while staying agile.
- FutureTech MeetUp: Go Global — a large-scale gathering focused on how Ukrainian tech companies are conquering international markets. It was a powerful boost of motivation and hands-on advice for anyone striving to grow globally.
A huge thank you to the Diia.City United team for creating a space where Ukrainian IT comes together and grows stronger.
And, continuing the legend… they say that if you listen closely, you might feel the exact moment when a spark ignites in the air — an idea capable of changing not just one company but an entire industry. Who knows, maybe that spark is already turning into a flame — and your company could become the next big success story.
