AIN.Capital journalist asked Liki24 how and why the company chose Italy. Taras Potichnyi, Vice President of Expansion at Liki24, said that the startup primarily focused on the countries of Western Europe, so they chose Italy. The team analyzed many macroeconomic and microeconomic indicators, including those connected with medicine and electronic medicine.

Also, the choice largely depended on the country’s legislation allowing medical e-commerce. Another critical factor was the existence of an e-medicine field at all — for example, the availability of e-prescriptions. Not all European countries have them.

According to Potichny, given the combination of many factors, the list of 5-6 countries emereged. Later, they formed a shortlist (2-3 countries). Italy was the first on the final list.

“We are growing very fast, even faster than expected. We are expanding our geography and are not going to stop there. The pharmaceutical market, especially in Europe, is very conservative and has long opposed any new technologies. Nevertheless, the possibility to quickly get high-quality and inexpensive medicines is always relevant, and modern IT technologies allow automating all processes. Today, we are entering the Italian market, which we consider very promising,” comments Taras Potichnyi, Vice President of Expansion at Liki24.com.
