From now on, the Ukrainian and British tech ecosystems have a new platform for development. The two countries have partnered to launch the UK-Ukraine TechBridge, which will allow them to develop joint innovation projects.
“The UK-Ukraine TechBridge is a platform that will combine the potential of the Ukrainian IT industry and the experience of the British technology sector. Its launch is an important and significant support for Ukraine’s IT industry,” said Oleksandr Borniakov, Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.
He is confident that thanks to the UK-Ukraine TechBridge, many large-scale joint projects will be implemented and it will become an example of a successful mutually beneficial international partnership for other countries.
Cooperation
Key areas of work of the project:
- trade development,
- attracting investments,
- creation of innovations, educational programs in IT from global companies.
The UK-Ukraine TechBridge will help expand cooperation between the tech sectors of Ukraine and the UK, and enable professionals from both countries to share experience, knowledge, and resources.
“Ukraine’s tech sector has provided significant support to the country’s economy throughout the war and is a key industry in ensuring the economic resilience of the Ukrainian state and its future recovery,” said Nusrat Ghani, the UK’s Minister of Industry and Economic Security.
In her view, partnerships between British and Ukrainian businesses and the development of innovation are driving trade and helping to lay the foundations for Ukraine’s long-term recovery, opening up future business opportunities on both sides.
Attracting investment
The UK-Ukraine TechBridge will provide access for both British and Ukrainian technology businesses to the markets of both countries, expand opportunities for attracting investment in Ukraine’s tech sector, and promote innovation and trade.
The UK-Ukraine TechBridge was launched as part of the Memorandum of Cooperation between technology ecosystems signed last November by the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and the UK Department for Business and Trade.
