CrunchBase has teamed up with East-West Digital News to cover key tech and venture trends from Russia and neighboring countries of the former Soviet Union. Starting from now, EWDN chief editor Adrien Henni publishes a monthly column in this famous industry resource, highlighting the most notable deals as well as promising tech innovations from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Central Asia.
“With tiny venture investment volumes, this region may look peripheral on the global high tech map. However, its world-class engineers and bold startup entrepreneurs fuel global innovation in many ways. Many popular applications and technologies used by global giants were developed in the region. This is why it deserves to be better known and understood from international audiences,” Henni says.
Previously, EWDN and CrunchBase partnered to publish “Startup Investment and Innovation in Emerging Europe,” the first-ever study covering 24 countries of Central and Eastern Europe.
