The establishment of the GovTech Alliance of Ukraine is a strategically significant step that will not only foster effective cooperation between the state and business but also create opportunities for securing international contracts with governments of other countries. This initiative strengthens Ukraine's position as a digital leader on the global stage. Together with Ukrainian businesses, we will promote our GovTech solutions worldwide because a successful business is the foundation of a strong economy. I congratulate the GTA UA team on this achievement and wish them growth in the number of alliance members. Let’s move forward, building collaboration!
