In fact, DOC.UA has passed the business incubation on the CIG platform. In this project, we performed the role of not just an investor, but a full-fledged partner who provided legal support, created the product and developed the business. This is a very rare phenomenon not only in the Ukrainian market, but also in world practice.”
