True leadership isn’t about reacting — it’s about navigating through the storm.

As power outages return and pressure on teams rises, our planning horizon shrinks to mere weeks or even days. The question remains: how do we build a strategy in this reality?

On December 3rd, we are bringing together tech leaders, top investors, government officials, and international partners for the FutureTech Meetup: United for 2026 — the flagship event by Diia.City United. 

Together, we will define strategic priorities and establish a clear framework for effective decision-making in 2026.

We are grateful to our key partner, Kyivstar, for sharing the Association’s values and helping make this event possible.

We focus on

  • 2026 Outlook: Macroeconomics, geopolitics, and energy — how current trends and challenges will shape business decisions.
  • Leadership & Resilience: How founders and executives maintain team momentum, recharge, and stay focused? Personal stories and actionable insights.
  • Operational Continuity: Practical models for energy planning and internal policies amidst new challenges.
  • United Community Power: Live connection, networking, and finding support among like-minded peers.

 

Our goal is to equip Ukrainian tech leaders with actionable scenarios, practical tools, and trusted connections for successful planning and growth in the year ahead.

The event will also feature a Diia.City Q&A Corner — a special spot where guests can get answers to all their questions about joining and the benefits of residency.

Host: Illia Kabachynskyi, Editor-in-Chief of Scroll.media
