Ukraine is one of the largest exporters of information technology (IT) services in the world. Segments such as outsourcing, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI), mobile applications, blockchain, and e-government were developing rapidly even before the war.

At the same time, digital transformation goes beyond and affects all sectors of the economy in Ukraine. Digital solutions are being applied in a wide range of sectors, including banking and finance, agriculture and food production, energy, and more. In this regard, digital transformation is key to a well-functioning society, affecting democratic participation, education, and public services.
