Lawmakers from IT industry pledge to boost conditions for peers

By The Kyiv Post / December 25, 2014

Ukrainian IT sector received a bit of hope that good changes are coming in 2015 after the parliament elections this October. Five former tech industry players received parliament member mandates and became IT sector lobbyists at the legislative level.

Luckily for the industry, the lobbyists have different background and represent different parties. Olha Belkova (Petro Poroshenko’s Bloc) was a managing partner of East Labs Business Accelerator and Viktor Halasyuk (Liashko Radical Party) was president of Bionic Hill innovation park in times of its active construction.
