Lviv is the largest city in Western Ukraine. It is the country’s seventh most populous city and is becoming increasingly popular among investors and tourists alike. The European football championships that were held in Poland and Ukraine in 2012 helped to popularise the city internationally and resulted in a new tourist infrastructure. Now Lviv wants to make use of that popularity and to promote a few of its key sectors; in particular tourism and IT. The latter now provides jobs for 15,000 people compared to virtually none a decade ago and it generates an estimated $300 million in annual turnover.
Emerging Europe spoke to Andriy Sadovyy, Mayor of Lviv, about the city's value propositions and advantages over other destinations in the region. He also told us that the atmosphere of the city is amazing, but one really should come here, to the city, to experience this atmosphere.
