Credit Agricole and Kharkiv IT Cluster signed a partnership memorandum

The IT sector is one of the main vectors of Credit Agricole's development, so the bank is expanding its network of partners to best meet the needs of IT customers. Recently, Credit Agricole became a partner of the largest community of IT specialists and companies in Kharkiv − Kharkiv IT Cluster, which successfully unites about 260 companies and partners. The cluster has been operating on the market since 2015 and is developing an ecosystem for tech business.

"We continue supporting the IT industry and investing in digital solutions for IT business. To provide truly useful services for IT professionals, we strive to understand their business and needs from the inside. Partnership with Kharkiv IT Cluster and implementation of joint projects will contribute to this. CAU shares common values with the Cluster − a desire for innovation and taking an active social stance. We are also confident that together we will be able to do much more and propel forward the IT business," comments Stephane Fallick, Board Member of Credit Agricole.

Kharkiv IT Cluster offers new prospects for IT business, creates platforms for the implementation of ambitious projects, establishes partnerships and protects the interests of the IT community beyond the tough times and impending challenges.

"We believe that our strength is in the community. From the beginning of the war, our main task was to ensure the stability and continuity of work of Kharkiv IT community. We have been working since the first day of the full-scale war, from the moment we heard the first explosions. All for the sake of creating and retaining prospects for the IT industry," says Olha Shapoval, executive director of Kharkiv IT Cluster.

The Group invests a lot in innovations and start-ups, in particular it supports its own accelerator Le Village by CA, that has been helping start-ups to find investment solutions and opportunities to enter markets since 2014.
