Outsourcing is cost-effective and at the same time delivers quality. Their price range is from 25 dollars to 50 dollars per hour unlike The United States and Western Europe that cashes 100 dollars per hour. This is a good strategic choice from the Ukrainian teams and this is why they will outsource for a long time.
The reason why there are over 110 R&D centers is simple. The strong work ethic provided by the Ukrainians. They are not so different from their Western Europe and USA colleagues. Developers from Ukraine care about their work relationships and they master the projects assigned to them. They also want to work with their clients directly to avoid misunderstanding and they evolve by listening to other opinions and critiques.

To put it differently, startups are really important for Ukraine and bring additional positivity to those that want to outsource there.
Innovation is something that other developers fail to deliver. Developers in Ukraine, unlike other countries, are extremely innovative. Not only they deliver their projects on time but they are also familiar with all the programming languages and are trained to overcome even the most difficult challenge.
