Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine

🇺🇦🤝🏻🇯🇵 Japan and Ukraine — building digital resilience together We were glad to welcome the JICA Ukraine Office to CDTO Campus during a meeting with Valeriya Ionan, Advisor to the First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine. Last year, Ukraine and Japan held a joint Capture The Flag (CTF) cybersecurity competition — a global challenge that united beginners and experts to test their skills, learn from top professionals, and exchange experience with Japanese colleagues. We’re accelerating innovation, strengthening cybersecurity, and expanding digital learning opportunities. Together, we’re shaping a smarter, safer, and more resilient digital future — and this cooperation keeps growing stronger 🦾 Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Kotaro Tanaka Osamu Hattori

🇺🇦 From a digital to an agentive state: Sharing Ukraine’s experience and vision in AI development During EU Regions Week in Brussels, Софія Петькова, AI Projects Coordinator, and Nelli Blinova, AI International Partnerships Manager, shared the achievements and steps that will help reach the goal of ranking among the world’s top three countries in AI integration and implementation by 2030. We have three strategic focuses for developing the AI sector in Ukraine: the national AI strategy, the product track, and building AI sovereignty in Ukraine. In the context of war, cyberthreats, and geopolitical pressure, controlling our own models, data, and infrastructure is essential. Current priorities include: • scaling Diia.AI — the world’s first national AI assistant that delivers services • building a national LLM • integrating AI into the tools for internal government efficiency Ukraine’s experience demonstrates that a crisis can serve as a catalyst for technological growth. We remain open to cooperation, share our expertise, and continue developing the European trustworthy AI ecosystem 🦾

💻 19,000 devices for schools, hospitals, and communities: Results of the Laptops for Ukraine project Over three years, individuals and companies from nine EU countries donated equipment for critical infrastructure — laptops, tablets, and communication devices. The main goal was to meet the urgent needs of Ukrainian schools, hospitals, and communities affected by the war. We are grateful to the European Commission (DG CNECT) and DIGITALEUROPE the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, and the Ministry of the Interior of the Slovak Republic for their support and coordination of the project 🤝🏻

🇫🇮 Strengthening Ukraine’s cybersecurity: Finland joins the Tallinn Mechanism Finland has become the thirteenth country to join the Tallinn Mechanism, an international initiative that helps Ukraine enhance its cyber resilience and digital security. Finland brings strong expertise in digital governance, cybersecurity, and critical infrastructure protection. Together with our partners, we will develop technological solutions and share best practices. Finland’s participation in the Tallinn Mechanism will also open new opportunities for collaboration between Finnish and Ukrainian tech companies. 🔐 The Tallinn Mechanism was launched in 2023 in response to ongoing cyberattacks from Russia. Under this framework, we are already implementing dozens of initiatives to strengthen Ukraine’s cyber resilience. We thank all partner countries for their steadfast and unwavering support 🤝🏻

🇺🇦 Building the Future: Ukraine Shaping the Next Wave of Innovation The Meta Global Policy and Innovation Flyout 2025 brought together 100 innovators from around the world — 60 from the United States, the rest from Europe and Asia. Valeriya Ionan, Advisor to Mykhailo Fedorov, represented Ukraine as the sole participant from our country. Meta is a strong partner of Ukraine. One of the highlights was the Meta Orion demo — AR glasses with multiple virtual screens, intuitive hand gestures, a neural wristband, and AI seamlessly integrated into everyday life. This is human-machine symbiosis: shared AR spaces, instant collaboration, and AI that augments decision-making in real-time. Within Ukraine’s innovation track, we combine technologies and ecosystem thinking to shape the next generation of public services, governance, and citizen experience. Ukraine is moving from a digital state to an agentic state, implementing the WINWIN Strategy, advancing the Digital Agenda, rolling out the AI Strategy, developing the BRAVE1 defence tech cluster, and launching the first governmental AI-agent — Diia.AI. During the visit, Valeriya met key partners: 👉🏻 Google — discussed plans and achievements with Yossi Matias, VP and Head of Google Research. Highlights include support for startups, Diia.Education, Mriia, Gemini and AI Pro subscriptions for students, and Gemini powering Diia.AI. 👉🏻 Astro Teller, Captain of Moonshots at X — exchanged insights on bold, high-risk projects tackling global challenges and share the WINWIN strategy perspective. 👉🏻 Cisco — talked about the strengthened cooperation via the Country Digital Acceleration Program, supporting online marriage in Diia through Webex, opening the first immersive hub in Ternopil, launching CDTO Campus, and many other. 👉🏻 Stanford University — discussed a new project with Gauthier Vasseur to highlight Ukrainian defence tech and showcase the innovation, flexibility, and efficiency of Ukrainian startups. Innovation is born in business, but governments create conditions, support adoption, and ensure technologies reflect democratic values. Ukraine is not just participating in the next wave of technology — we are building it. We are grateful to our partners for their support 🙌🏻

🇺🇦 Ukraine has embarked on the path toward alignment with the European Artificial Intelligence Act In July 2025, with the support of the European Commission, the #EU4Digital Facility initiative launched a strategic partnership with the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine to align the national approach with the EU AI Act — the world’s first comprehensive regulation in the field of artificial intelligence. 🇪🇺 This partnership strengthens digital cooperation between Ukraine and the EU and contributes to our integration into the EU and the EU Single Digital Market. On October 7, the first in a series of workshops took place, bringing together over 150 stakeholders from the Ministry of Digital Transformation, AI Committee, AI Sandbox, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ukrainian National Office for Intellectual Property and Innovations (UKRNOIVI), the Ombudsman’s Office, the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection, the Ministry of Defence and many others, as well as representatives from civil society, academia, and business.  This marks the first step toward implementing the Roadmap for adapting the AI acquis. As outlined in the White Paper on AI Regulation, Ukraine is implementing a bottom-up approach in two stages: 1️⃣ By 2027 – developing a culture of self-regulation and ethical use of AI; 2️⃣ By 2030 – legislative alignment with European integration and international standards in the field of artificial intelligence. Together with EU4Digital, we are working to build a reliable and human-centric AI ecosystem that reflects European values and ensures transparency and innovation in Ukraine’s digital transformation 🦾
