According to recent research, Ukrainian entrepreneurs are behind up to $60 billion in U.S. economic activity and approximately 300,000 jobs.
Technology companies account for around 43% of Ukrainian businesses in the U.S. market. This reflects Ukraine’s strong engineering culture and its global reputation in software and artificial intelligence development.
A vivid example of such entrepreneurship is Valerii Yakovenko, who, after 2022, expanded DroneUA’s operations into the U.S. market and opened the Futurology division, with an office in Pennsylvania. Through the integration of agricultural drones into the U.S. agro sector, collaboration with American farmers, building strong partnerships, and local presence, the company has essentially become part of the U.S. economy due to its real utility for the market. Behind this stands the Ukrainian engineering school, adaptability, and ability to work at the intersection of technology and practical tasks that hold value on both sides of the Atlantic.
The activities of Futurology indicate the development of stable high-tech business relations between Ukraine and the U.S. while facilitating the creation of added value, jobs, and new opportunities for the economies of both countries. The contribution of Ukrainian businesses to the U.S. economy’s development helps shape Ukraine’s image as a country capable of exporting innovation, expertise, and partnership on a global level.
