Oleh Krot "Each market has its reputation": how the TECHIIA holding team combined business and social responsibility projects

Managing Partner of the TECHIIA holding.

After 24 February 2022, they quickly added another large work vector - assistance to the defence forces named "Supporting the Freedom of Ukraine." We buy arming and gear on a turnkey basis, and we work 99% with our funds. Only two projects were implemented together with partners - the Kharkiv and Dnipro IT clusters to collect funds for unmanned aerial vehicles and ambulances.

In 2023, in addition to procurement, we added a prosthetics project for military and civilian amputees due to war. We are already working with the first ones and will tell you more soon. In two or three months, another area will be related to medicine. In general, we are constantly looking for points of the most effective effort. Therefore, additional vectors may appear by the end of the year.

At the same time, we continue our permanent strategic projects. One of the earliest and largest is "Get well soon!" It is a project to modernize Ukrainian hospitals. We purchase equipment and consumables for busy medical centres. Last year, we spent more than UAH 6.5 MM on this direction and continued funding even in the face of a full-scale russian invasion.
