In 2024, Ukraine entered the top three European leaders in the Open Data Maturity ranking. Open data plays a key role in the fight against corruption, ensuring transparency and accessibility of information. Let us introduce you to the residents of Diia.City who are creating digital solutions to combat corruption.

YouControl

YouControl is a product company that develops services for analyzing businesses. Their platform allows users to form a complete profile on each company and individual entrepreneur (FOP) in Ukraine based on open data.

Journalists and non-governmental organizations actively use YouControl's tools. They have already conducted over 17,000 investigations, most of which aim to uncover corruption schemes.

Opendatabot

Opendatabot provides access to government data from key public registers. The service checks hundreds of thousands of companies daily, their connections, and links to individuals. This significantly simplifies the analysis of suppliers in tenders.

Opendatabot has its own PEP register and helps businesses and state-owned enterprises assess the risks of cooperation with sanctioned groups or those with ties to the aggressor country. It also offers a free tool for checking new buildings for violations.

Clarity Project

Clarity Project is a platform for checking public procurement through Prozorro and analyzing contractors in over 130 registers.

Anti-corruption NGOs and journalists get free access to all Clarity tools. Last year, 40 organizations took advantage of this opportunity. In addition, the platform is actively used by more than 100 state regulatory bodies.

VKURSI

VKURSI is a platform for verifying counterparties that has been helping state-owned enterprises and businesses strengthen anti-corruption compliance for over 7 years.

In just seconds, users can:

  • Detect conflicts of interest among officials, top managers, and candidates for positions based on business connections.
  • Create reports on assets and property of declarants that are not listed in declarations.
  • Analyze Prozorro tenders to assess corruption risks of procurement customers and participants.

SmartTender

SmartTender is the official accredited platform for Prozorro and Prozorro Sales systems. Its main goal is to ensure fair and competitive interaction between business and government, minimizing corruption risks.

The company was the first to integrate artificial intelligence into electronic trading processes. The algorithm finds all of the customer’s requirements, including hidden ones, within five minutes, leveling the playing field for small and large companies and creating transparent competition. This significantly reduces the potential for corruption in public procurement.

Diia.City is a unique legal and tax space for IT companies in Ukraine. IT companies, startups, and technology businesses that become residents of Diia.City enjoy a range of benefits, including low taxes, flexible working conditions, and legal protection.
