Forum Context and Purpose
On September 26, 2025, in Chicago, the first major U.S. forum UA4USA (Ukrainian-American Business Forum) took place. Its purpose is to highlight how Ukrainian-founded companies contribute to the U.S. economy — by creating jobs, paying taxes, driving innovation, and strengthening communities.
The event is organized by the Ukrainian American Chamber of Commerce & Industry (UACCI).
Key components include the unveiling of the report “The Economic Contribution of Ukrainian Businesses in the U.S.” and panel discussions on taxation, employment, investment, logistics, and cross-border business growth.
WEZOM’s Participation
WEZOM, a full-cycle software product development company, participated in the forum as one of the Ukrainian firms, highlighting the role of Ukrainian business in the US economy.
At the event, WEZOM engaged in panel discussions, connected with investors, diaspora entrepreneurs, and governmental representatives, and joined conversations on cross-border expansion, challenges, and opportunities for IT companies.
Significance for WEZOM and the Ukrainian IT Sector
Participation in UA4USA gives WEZOM a direct opportunity to position itself within the American business community, attract investor interest and potential clients, and showcase its expertise in software product development.
For the broader Ukrainian IT sector, this participation is also meaningful — it helps demonstrate that Ukrainian companies can compete globally, contribute to foreign economies, and engage in international innovation initiatives.
Conclusions and Outlook
The UA4USA forum served as a platform for the exchange of expertise, forging new links between Ukrainian businesses and the American market. For WEZOM, it represents a stepping stone toward further growth and scaling in the USA.
Looking ahead — more active engagement with American clients, participation in large IT and tech projects, and deeper collaboration with diaspora, investors, and organizations that bridge Ukraine and the USA.
