The UK and Ukraine have this week launched a new initiative to facilitate commercially-driven partnerships and growth in tech sectors includeing Agri Tech to further support Ukraine’s recovery.
The UK-Ukraine TechBridge aims to support economic resilience for Ukraine while bringing benefits to the tech sectors in both countries.
The initiative seeks to facilitate digital trade and investment by supporting relationships between high potential Ukrainian businesses and UK tech firms and investors, and through a series of virtual “missions” in priority sectors such as healthtech, agritech and fintech.
A number of UK-based tech companies have worked together to present a set of free online training opportunities alongside in-person and online expert discussions for Ukrainian businesses looking to develop their skills.
Following an agreement signed last year, Minister for Industry and Economic Security Nusrat Ghani officially launched the UK-Ukraine TechBridge with Ukrainian Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation Oleksandr Bornyakov, in London today.
Minister for Industry and Economic Security Nusrat Ghani said:
As Minister for Ukraine Reconstruction, I am delighted to be launching this fantastic programme, building connections between the UK and Ukraine tech companies.
The TechBridge website is accessible now, and in-person missions for Ukrainian companies will start as early as March. Organisations or individuals are invited to sign up to receive more information as we continue to build the offer and set up specific events.
More information about the TechBridge can be found on the dedicated website: ukukrainetechbridge.org
