The SID Venture Partners Fund was founded in December 2021.

• V-Art, a platform for demonstrating and selling digital art pieces that was launched in 2020.
• Finmap, an online financial accounting service for entrepreneurs and SMEs.

CSR report 2021, education development, social initiatives support

Being a socially responsible business is our true aspiration and long-term strategy. Among the directions that are always in focus for us are education development, gender equality, being a reliable partner for our customers and a responsible employer for our constantly growing team. Every year Sigma Software publishes a thorough yearly report that embraces the main CSR initiatives.

In the new year we have already launched several exciting projects and partnerships:

• Prepared and ran a series of workshops covering different topics for teachers and academic staff of Ukrainian universities and colleges. For one week every evening, over 400 participants gathered online to listen to different company’s speakers who talked about the IT industry, education trends, and best business approaches and tools for the successful growth and development of universities.
• Launched a course on career guidance in IT for high school students. Our aim is to give the students a better understanding of the IT industry, how it develops and how it influences our everyday lives. We have also been opening the curtain to various IT professions in both tech and non-tech industries. We also want to expose students to the soft skills required for a successful start in IT, and encourage them to take a closer look at IT entrepreneurship.
• Sigma Software has started a partnership with a public organization that has launched a unique social project “She can!” The goal of the project is to make sure that every Ukrainian woman who needs help, wherever she is, can receive it. Having a lot of expertise in the field of design and a strong design team, we have already started creating a logo and website design where women will be able to apply for participation in the project.
