Credit Agricole expands its partnership network and aims to contribute to the development of IT industry in Ukraine. The bank became the official partner of the largest Lviv community of IT professionals and companies - Lviv IT Cluster that unites 110 companies and almost 20 thousand professionals. 

“We actively support the IT industry since we believe that Ukraine has a lot of potential and all the required resources to be one of the biggest global exporters of IT services. We aim to be a reliable partner to the business and to help it develop. Our synergy with Lviv IT Cluster started few years ago when Credit Agricole became the exclusive partner to Lviv IT Arena and we realized that we shared the same values: strive for innovations, willingness to contribute to the country’s development, confidence in the potential of Ukrainian IT entrepreneurs, and active social position. We are happy to become a part of the Lviv IT Cluster as we can reach much more together”, Stephane Fallick, the Management Board Member of Credit Agricole Bank, comments.

We have built a strong community, as well as gathered reliable partners who help us implement important projects. I am glad to see Credit Agricole among our partners. We have been working together the last few years already; they are Cluster's great support in many projects. Certainly, we have even more common achievements ahead of us», Stepan Veselovskyi, CEO of Lviv IT Cluster, comments.
