What is ELEKS?
ELEKS opened in Lviv in 1991, a year before Ukraine itself declared independence, and has grown to more than 2,000 engineers over three and a half decades. Compared with the mega-giants on this list it's a small operation, but among boutique and mid-market firms it stands out for sheer institutional longevity, with deep healthcare, insurance, and financial technology practices built up over decades rather than years. That history buys a stable delivery process and senior bench, at the cost of any single named technical specialty as sharp as a true boutique's.
ELEKS works primarily with clients in Healthcare, Insurance, Financial services sectors. Its primary differentiator is: The longest continuous operating history of any non-giant company on this list.
