DEV
Challenge
XX

For the 20th season, the championship returned to its native Kyiv. More than 2500 participants took part in the jubilee season, 112 of whom reached the finals. The magic of the Final brought together both new community members and old friends in UNIT.City.

“This room contains the highest concentration of IT brains in Ukraine. To win the war, we have to become a high-tech country, and innovations have to become the way of our lives. DEV Challenge is a perfect example of that. Here IT professionals compete, and most importantly learn from each other.”
