This article provides a comprehensive examination of the mechanisms that shape the international competitiveness of the Ukrainian IT sector in the context of Industry 4.0, offering an integrated assessment of how foreign direct investment (FDI), cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity, and venture capital (VC) flows influence the sector’s ability to generate long-term competitive advantages under conditions of heightened global uncertainty and war-related disruptions. Building on an empirical dataset, the study evaluates the dynamics of inward FDI, distinguishing between genuine new capital inflows and reinvested earnings, analyses the contraction of international M&A transactions and the partial substitution of foreign investment by domestic venture funding and constructs a competitiveness index that captures technological, structural, and cost-based parameters across a group of benchmark countries. The regression analysis confirms a strong relationship between investment activity and the sector’s competitive trajectory, revealing that the decline of the Ukrainian innovation capacity, the dominance of outsourcing models, and the instability of institutional and regulatory frameworks have become key constraints on the formation of sustained competitive advantages. The findings demonstrate that, despite the sector’s resilience and export potential, the imbalance between rapid IT export growth and insufficient inflows of new foreign capital undermines its ability to transition toward higher-value-added product models and deeper integration into global digital value chains. On this basis, the article substantiates the need for a multi-level system of investment-enhancing mechanisms, including the stabilisation of the «Diia.City» regime, the introduction of targeted R&D incentives, the development of public-private cluster partnerships (PPPs), and the strengthening of corporate governance practices, which together are essential for restoring investment attractiveness and reinforcing Ukrainian international competitiveness in the digital economy.
