Oleg Demydenko , Owner at Planit-inc. , Board Member at NPO "BUILDIT Ukraine" and Head of the National ConTech Cluster, joined the Bricks & Bytes podcast to share exclusive insights on how global tech giants are investing in the future of Ukraine. Specifically, he discussed a massive project by Nvidia, which is building an artificial intelligence factory in our country. This is a monumental step forward for the development of both domestic ConTech (construction technology) and the IT sector as a whole! "Artificial intelligence is no longer the future—it is a tool transforming design and construction here and now." 👉 Watch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/dV67tAvP 🌐 National ConTech Cluster Website: https://www.contech.org.ua

The National Contech Cluster extends its gratitude to the Bricks & Bytes team for highlighting our analysis and inviting us to share these insights with the international community. The issue raised by Oleg Demydenko Owner at Planit-inc. , Board Member at NPO "BUILDIT Ukraine" and Head of the National ConTech Cluster reflects a systemic challenge for the entire Ukrainian tech sector: 📌 The Positioning Paradox: Despite having over 300,000 world-class developers and technologies tested in real-world conditions, Ukraine is still often perceived merely as an outsourcing back-office. 📌 The Packaging Problem: Ukrainian teams focus heavily on development speed and rapid iteration, but often pay insufficient attention to marketing and brand building. 📌 The Value Distribution: If a company fails to tell its own story, the added value and product recognition ultimately go to foreign intermediaries. This is a classic Go-to-Market rule in the tech industry, which has become critical today for every founder planning to expand into Western markets. We thank our colleagues at Bricks & Bytes for their high-quality analysis of how this phenomenon impacts business positioning, and for their readiness to tackle complex topics together with us. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dzvqg5Mc 🌐 National ConTech Cluster Website: https://www.contech.org.ua

🏗 Ukraine is rebuilding with the technologies of the future: Oleg Demydenko, Owner Planit-inc., Board Member NPO "BUILDIT Ukraine", and Head of the National ConTech Cluster on the Bricks & Bytes podcast! The World Bank estimates Ukraine's reconstruction costs at $588 billion (according to RDNA5 data), but the true scale and needs are likely much higher. How do we turn this massive challenge into a technological leap for the entire world? Head of the National ConTech Cluster Oleg Demydenko joined the latest episode of the renowned Bricks, Bucks & Bytes podcast, sharing a powerful discussion with ConTech industry leaders Owen Drury, Patric Hellermann, Martin Piekarz, and Dustin DeVan 🔥 Ukraine's ConTech sector is already changing the game in engineering and construction, despite wartime conditions! 🎧 Key insights discussed in the episode: 📍 A New Infrastructure Philosophy: Why the future belongs to modular, distributed, and easily replaceable systems. 📍 The Speed of Innovation in Ukraine: What stands behind Oleg Demydenko's insight, "We have no time to sell it. We've already developed a new one," and how Ukrainian developers are setting a furious pace for product releases. 📍 AI & Robotics: The prospects of an NVIDIA AI factory in Ukraine, as well as a heated debate on whether humanoid robots are an overhyped trend (featuring the Agility Robotics case study). This conversation is a must-watch for anyone interested in venture capital, AI, robotics, and the future of construction technology. Ukraine is not just rebuilding — it is becoming the ultimate testing ground for tomorrow's ConTech innovations. 👉 Watch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/dV67tAvP 🌐 National ConTech Cluster Website: https://www.contech.org.ua

Bricks & Bytes has published an in-depth feature on the mission of the National ConTech Cluster: "What It Takes to Rebuild Ukraine With Technology". Oleg D. , Owner Planit-inc., Board Member NPO "BUILDIT Ukraine", and Head of the National ConTech Cluster, points out: "If we wait for peace to start planning, foreign corporations will parachute into Ukraine with their own pre-packaged templates. By building the ecosystem now, Ukrainian startups will enter the reconstruction market mature, proven, and strong." Establishing the National ConTech Cluster amid ongoing hostilities is a testament to our strategic resilience and our fight for economic sovereignty. We strive to ensure that Ukraine's reconstruction is driven by Ukrainian talent, keeping jobs and economic value within the country. 🔹 Sovereignty in Reconstruction. Ukraine is already a powerful digital hub. Now, we are scaling this expertise into the construction sector. Seven Ukrainian ConTech startups have already presented their solutions in BIM coordination, digital twins, and fabrication control on the international stage in Paris. 🔹 AI-Powered Damage Assessment. We cannot rebuild what we haven't quantified. Our teams are creating platforms that combine satellite imagery, laser scanning, and artificial intelligence, enabling communities to assess damage in real time and transparently prioritize reconstruction efforts. 🔹 Dual-Use Robotics. The autonomy and navigation technologies currently saving lives in combat zones will become the tools of peace tomorrow. Ukrainian engineers possess unique experience working in the harshest environments-and these robotic platforms will be indispensable on post-war construction sites. 🔹 Educational Foundation. Backed by years of dedicated work by NPO "BUILDIT Ukraine", which has trained over 11,000 students in construction technology for free, we have a robust talent pool. Today, this movement has evolved into a comprehensive national strategy. The window of opportunity to chart the right course for Ukraine's reconstruction is open right now. We are not waiting for victory to start working-we are bringing it closer by establishing a global hub for ConTech innovation. 🇺🇦 Join us in building the future. Together, we will rebuild Ukraine stronger, more technologically advanced, and independent! 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/g5PKAhdC 🌐 National ConTech Cluster Website: https://www.contech.org.ua
