IT-Talaka is an association of Belarusian IT-specialists around the world. The union is aimed at strengthening the IT-community, developing digital services for the civil society and representing Belarusian IT around the globe.

We’re building connections with tech-companies, regulators, government agencies, non-government organizations and nonprofits around the world to advocate solving IT-related problems which affect Belarusians.

Topics we’re advocating for: protecting freedom of speech and resisting censorship in Belarus internet, adding support for Belarusian language in major IT products, softening and improving regulations allowing Belarusian IT specialists to work and live abroad.

Belarusian civil society and social entrepreneurs have a great deal of initiatives working in domains like democracy, freedom of speech, culture, education, etc. We believe all of them need a simple and tractable way to solve IT challenges they face without necessarily building IT teams of their own. Our members offer these initiatives professional pro-bono help in standing up websites, chatbots, analytics and other IT tools they need to effectively solve their challenges.
