Engaging Citizens, Empowering Communities

🌍 Innovation partnerships are built around people, ideas and opportunities.

As part of London Tech Week 2026, the United by Innovation: The UK–Ukraine Tech Forum brought together founders, investors, policymakers, and technology leaders from both countries to explore how innovation ecosystems can grow and scale in an increasingly complex world.

For the second consecutive year, the Forum highlighted Ukraine’s growing role not only as a resilient digital nation, but as a source of technologies, products and expertise with global potential. Discussions focused on AI, digital infrastructure, investment, scaling and new models of international technology cooperation.

Robert O'Donovan, Vice President of Eurasia Foundation, joined the Forum discussion and reflected on one of the most inspiring moments of the event:

💬 “Watching Ukrainian founders step forward and pitch their businesses to potential investors was a powerful reminder that Ukraine is not only rebuilding despite the ongoing war – it is continuing to innovate and create solutions with global potential.”

For UK DIGIT, supporting the UK–Ukraine Tech Forum is part of a broader commitment to strengthening innovation partnerships between the UK and Ukraine and unlocking opportunities that benefit both countries.

The Forum was organized by Diia.City United in collaboration with the UK Government and the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine (Міністерство цифрової трансформації України) through the UK-Ukraine TechBridge, with the support of the London Stock Exchange.

🤝 The Forum was supported by the Digitalisation for Growth, Integrity and Transparency Project (Проєкт “Цифровізація для зростання, доброчесності та прозорості” - UK DIGIT), implemented by Eurasia Foundation and funded by UK International Development. British Embassy Kyiv

📌 Last week, Eurasia Foundation President Lisa Coll visited Ukraine and met with the team of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine to discuss the ongoing cooperation within the UK DIGIT Project, funded by UK International Development.

🔹 Together with UK DIGIT Chief of Party Danylo Molchanov and the Ministry team, they discussed current priorities and future cooperation in advancing Ukraine’s digital transformation — from AI and innovation to digital public services and innovation partnerships.

💻 Today, UK DIGIT supports a wide range of initiatives aimed at building a more transparent, effective, and user-oriented digital state. This includes the development and scaling of digital services in Diia, AI-powered solutions such as Diia.AI, digitalisation of the construction sector, modernisation of the eQueue system and the launch of the eExcise, as well as support for innovation sectors within the WINWIN strategy, UK-Ukraine TechBridge, and other reforms and initiatives focused on strengthening state capacity and improving services for citizens and businesses.

Ukraine’s digital transformation today is not only an important element of wartime resilience, but also a source of unique expertise and innovation attracting growing international interest. As highlighted during the meeting, Ukraine is not only building strong domestic expertise in digital governance, but is also increasingly sharing this experience globally.

🤝 We are grateful to the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine for the productive meeting and continued partnership!

📣 We are pleased to announce the extension of the UK DIGIT international technical assistance project for another year.

ℹ️ The Digitalisation for Growth, Integrity and Transparency Project (UK DIGIT) is implemented with the support of UK International Development (UK Dev) and will run through March 2027.

In its second year, the project has been updated to respond even more flexibly to Ukraine’s evolving needs in digital governance during wartime and recovery, while also strengthening the UK–Ukraine partnership in innovation.
In this new phase, the project focuses on three key objectives:

✅ Build more responsive, transparent, and effective public services
✅Support economic recovery and mobilise domestic revenue
✅Leverage mutual opportunities for the UK and Ukraine through partnership on innovation developing more efficient, transparent, and user-friendly public services

🤝 To achieve these results, we work closely with our government partner – Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine – as well as a number of other public sector institutions.

The UK DIGIT team is strengthened by implementing partners – Better Regulation Delivery Office (BRDO) and East Europe Foundation (EEF) – which bring extensive expertise in digital transformation, deregulation, innovation development, and digital solutions for the public sector.

🙌 Together, we work to design and implement long-term digital governance solutions that enhance interaction between the state, citizens, and businesses, support economic development, and align with Ukraine’s European integration agenda.

💡 Amid Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukraine continues to modernise public administration by developing digital services that simplify interactions between the state, citizens, and businesses, support the economy, and improve the effectiveness of governance.

Digital technologies are a key enabler of this transformation – enhancing service quality, ensuring transparency, and strengthening trust between the state and society.

By strengthening digital infrastructure and institutional capacity, UK DIGIT contributes to building a modern, efficient, and resilient state. Deepening UK–Ukraine cooperation in innovation will support the development of joint solutions, attract investment, and strengthen the innovation capacity of both countries.

Shortly after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, a kindergarten in Irpin, Ukraine, was destroyed amid the war. One year later, it reopened — rebuilt, renamed, and full of children again. That's the power of communities leading their own recovery.

Through the DREAM platform, Ukrainian towns and cities are managing reconstruction and public investment projects with full transparency — tracking every investment in schools, hospitals, roads, and housing.

In 2025, with support from the UK DIGIT project led by Eurasia Foundation, 14,000 officials across Ukraine were trained on how to attract funding, prioritize projects, and ensure aid reaches the people who need it most. Now, 800+ communities have investment plans in place. 💙💛 Проєкт “Цифровізація для зростання, доброчесності та прозорості” - UK DIGIT

Even amid difficult times, the arrival of spring reminds us of hope, resilience, and fresh beginnings.

Today, we celebrate Nowruz, which means "new day," along with millions of people across the Middle East, Central Asia, and the Caucasus. Rooted in more than 3,000 years of tradition, Nowruz symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness and is a time of rebirth.

Wishing a joyful Nowruz to all who celebrate.

Maxim Grădinari is the living legacy of global disability rights advocate Judith Heumann.

He was a participant of Eurasia Foundation’s Judy Initiative in Moldova, working to make healthcare access more inclusive. When the project ended early due to foreign aid cuts, Maxim didn’t give up. He pushed forward, and today ramps stand where barriers once did at the Family Doctors’ Center and Palace of Culture in Rezina.

“Accessibility is not a luxury, but a necessity and a fundamental right,” he said.

This March 4, we honor Judy’s legacy. Let’s for a world that includes everyone.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Lee Hamilton, an extraordinary leader in Congress, two national Commissions, two academic and policy centers, and countless initiatives always benefiting the public interest. Eurasia Foundation is fortunate to have benefited from his longtime service on our Advisory Council, and we will long treasure his vision and devotion.

The government of Ukraine has launched Obriy, a digital employment platform to match job seekers with employers and address the country’s stubbornly high unemployment amid Russia's war with Ukraine.

By the end of 2025, Ukraine's unemployment rate was estimated at nearly 16%, significantly higher than the average for the European Union. Due to men entering military service, it has become more difficult to fill jobs that were traditionally held by men, and women are making up a greater share of the unemployed.

Obriy (the Ukrainian word for “horizon”) is designed to solve this skills mismatch and will align retraining programs with the needs of employers.
