The support program aims to build on efforts to further develop the economy, investment, and digital infrastructure. To strengthen the development of small and medium-sized businesses and the cultivation of a new business environment in Ukraine. It will also support transparent reconstruction and the Mriya and Prozorro systems, the ambassador said.
According to Brigitte Brink, Ukraine's digitalization is "a clear example for non-transparent countries that progress is possible," and the Diia and Prozorro initiatives are robust digital solutions that have not only contributed to significant cost savings but also provided transparency and accountability, fundamentally changing the way the government interacts with citizens.
