Diia.City United

What Diia.City United does

Diia.City United is a Ukrainian non-profit public union (громадська спілка) established as the collective association of technology companies operating under Ukraine's Diia.City special legal and tax regime. Registered as the Public Union "Association of Diia.City Residents" and headquartered at 8 Knyaziv Ostrozkykh St., Building 7 in Kyiv, the organization functions as the recognized collective voice of the country's product technology businesses in dialogue with the Ministry of Digital Transformation and other authorities. It is governed by a Strategic Council of 21 leaders drawn from leading Ukrainian and international technology companies and venture funds, with executive leadership comprising Nataliya Mykolska (Executive Director), Olena Dyachenko (Financial and Operations Director), Kateryna Dermenzhi (Deputy Director for Development), Anna Mieniailenko (Head of Communications), Alyona Onyshchenko (Communications Advisor), and Svitlana Sulkovska (Chief Legal Officer).

The association's core activities are collective advocacy on Diia.City regulatory matters, expert guidance on the regime's benefits, member access facilitation to investments, grants, and international partnerships, and brand visibility for member firms through owned channels. It operates an events platform running FutureTech Meetups and specialized streams — Defence Tech Stream, FinTech Stream, and AI Stream — covering topics from AI on the battlefield to AGI and defence procurement. In December 2025, Diia.City United launched a comprehensive research study titled "Ukraine's Tech Sector as a Core Driver of Economic Resilience and Recovery," conducted with UMAEF, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, Advanter Group, PwC Ukraine, and YouControl, and drawing on surveys of 400+ tech companies and 30 VC/PE fund representatives. Distribution of content and outreach runs through the website diiacityunited.org, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Telegram, YouTube, expert columns, and a member newsletter.

Rather than generating revenue directly, Diia.City United is funded as a membership-based association, with 220+ members spanning Ukrainian and international technology firms, startups, and VC/PE funds. Prominent members represented on the Strategic Council include GENESIS, FRACTAL, MEGOGO, WhiteBIT, and lilo. Per the association's own research, Diia.City residents paid 50.5 billion UAH in taxes in 2025 and contributed 3.2% of Ukraine's GDP, giving the organization a high-leverage position relative to its modest operational scale. Strategic partnerships extend beyond the Ministry of Digital Transformation to ecosystem players such as Creative States, Techsystem, PwC Ukraine, and YouControl, supporting both domestic policy advocacy and international positioning at events such as London Tech Week 2026 and URC 2026.

Direct peers

• Lviv IT Cluster: A regional Ukrainian IT industry cluster providing advocacy, events, education programs, and community services to tech companies in the Lviv region. Comparable in operating model (events, advocacy, member services) but with a narrower geographic remit.
• American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine: A membership-based business association in Ukraine that represents and advocates for member companies, including tech and international firms. Comparable business model — dues-paying members, advocacy, events, and government dialogue — operating in the same Ukrainian market.
• IT Ukraine Association: The leading Ukrainian IT industry association representing major Ukrainian tech employers. Directly comparable to Diia.City United as both serve as collective advocacy bodies for Ukrainian tech companies in dialogue with government and international stakeholders.

Broad incumbents

• techUK: The UK's leading technology trade association, representing ~900 member companies across the tech sector. Comparable in mission (collective advocacy, government relations, member services, research) and operating model, but at much greater scale and in a more mature market.
• DigitalEurope: The leading European trade association representing the digital technology industry to EU policymakers. Comparable advocacy and policy-research role at the supranational level, but covering a broader industry portfolio and serving larger incumbents.
• European DIGITAL SME Alliance: The largest European network of small and medium-sized digital companies. Comparable as a representative body for tech SMEs engaging with EU institutions, with a similar advocacy-plus-events operating model.
• European Tech Alliance: An industry group representing leading European tech companies to EU institutions. Comparable as a collective voice for tech companies engaging with regulators and policymakers, though focused on EU-level policy rather than a single national regime.

Regional players

• Nasscom: India's premier trade body for the IT and business process management industry. Comparable role as the apex industry association for a national tech sector with strong global ambitions, but operating in India and serving a much larger, more mature ecosystem.
