Ukrainian tech companies are losing money because they lack tech specialists. Judging by how quickly they grow, tech firms need about 50,000 techies a year, while there are only a bit over 16,000 tech students graduating from Ukrainian universities every year.
By 2024, the situation will have improved only slightly, according to recent estimates.
Ukraine will see a 23% increase in the number of tech students graduating yearly in Ukraine in 2024, reaching 20,000 people, according to Better Regulation Delivery Office (BRDO), a European Union-funded non-governmental organization.
But the situation will start to really improve only in 2030, when there will be 38,000 graduates almost as many as the market needs to thrive, BRDO estimates.

“I tell my girls, everything we do is in the name of Israel,” said Ira Vigdorchik. “You can only be an Olympic champion if you feel you are part of your country. Everything we are doing is for the flag of Israel.”

But building an in-house consultancy is not an easy task, and therefore not for the uninitiated or faint of heart.
Best practices have yet to gain recognition. As a result, from company to company, internal consulting groups differ in design and vary greatly in their structure and operations. So also varies the level of influence they are able to achieve on the business which they seek to direct and serve.
Such was the challenge at BDO or Binder Dijker Otte – an international network of public accounting, tax, consulting and business advisory firms with reported revenue of $10 billion in 2020 and approximately 90,000 employees worldwide.

Erasmus+ grant opens doors
What is it like to participate in the Erasmus+ grant programme as a Master’s student from Ukraine? Yevhenii Radchenko did an eight-month internship at Leiden University in 2018. Soon after, he returned as a PhD candidate. ‘You have little to lose, but a lot to gain.’
‘Make sure you have a good raincoat!’ That is the first tip Yevhenii Radchenko (24) gives to students who want to come to the Netherlands as an exchange student, just like him. In September 2018, he travelled from Ukraine to Leiden University, where he did an eight-month internship at the research group of Mario van der Stelt, Professor of Molecular Physiology. ‘I designed and synthesised complex molecules at that time,’ says Radchenko. ‘Then I studied whether they affected biological systems such as living cells.’
Nicolai Kiskalt, CEO of BDO Centers in Kyiv
In 2017 there was nothing. Now in 2020, BDO Centers has distinguished itself as a highly effective and successful consulting group.
This new business, is the brainchild of Nicolai Kiskalt, CEO of BDO Centers in Kyiv, recently celebrated by CEO Monthly Magazine.
In 2018, armed only with his vision and desire to solve a pressing business challenge coupled with his experience creating customer-centric and digital approaches to the market, Kiskalt saw the opportunity to capitalize on a then growing trend, the creation of in-house strategic consultancies.
The trend of which we speak, and that today continues to grow, is increasingly taking over from classic consulting firms such as McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group and Bain & Company.
