"Now our efforts are focused on Ukraine joining the Digital Europe Programme. It provides additional strategic funding to European countries for the digital transformation of society and the economy. This will allow our state to accelerate the development of the digital economy," he wrote.

According to the minister, they are ready to provide Ukraine with a discount of 95% or more in paying the fee for participation in the program.
