Anatoly Motkin to Kyiv Post: “Even with the outstanding efforts of Ukrainian startups to attract investments from Silicon Valley, it remains the case that, due to the war in Ukraine, the likelihood of receiving these investments has decreased significantly. Investors from the Gulf countries are ready to be patient and take on some of the risks that arise.” BibanGlobal Rainex MonshaatSA #digitaltransformation #digitalizationstrategy #digitaleconomy
