How to Build a Unicorn in a Perfect Storm?

Scaling a business during a full-scale war means operating under constant risk, pressure, and responsibility. It tests leadership maturity, internal resilience, and the ability to make decisions when the cost of mistakes is exceptionally high. Ukrainian tech companies are navigating this reality in real time — shaping a new standard of management and building business models hardened by extreme conditions.

Marking the 4th anniversary of Diia.City, this event focuses on the hands-on experience of companies that continue to grow despite the war. We will also explore purpose, leadership, and collective action — the factors that enable technology businesses to scale and stay strong heading into 2026.

Join an open and honest conversation with founders of some of Ukraine’s most successful tech companies — including mono, Ukraine’s first fintech unicorn, the globally recognised edtech company Headway Inc, telecommunications leaders IT SmartFlex and others.

Key discussion topics:

  • how to build a billion-dollar lovemark business
  • the most common mistakes companies make while scaling
  • where leaders find purpose in dark times
  • leadership and decision-making that shape global-level businesses under extreme pressure
