Support in the implementation of the Ministry's strategy for the development of IT infrastructure and the spread of cloud technologies. In particular, through the development of small and medium-sized businesses and startups that use cloud solutions.

Programmes like AWS Activate offer free business development tools, provide resources for using AWS cloud services, tutorials, and expert advice. They have already helped Ukrainian startups, such as Preply, where they have conducted more than 10 million lessons for students since launch.

Cooperation on modernization of IT systems and policy of the Ministry in the field of cloud technologies.

The beginning of the Ministry's cooperation with Amazon (AWS) is a positive signal to other large international companies and brands that Ukraine can and should be a partner. That is why we are digitalizing the country and creating favourable conditions for the development of IT, technology companies and startups. Our team is doing everything to make Ukraine associated in the world with a digital breakthrough. The development of cloud technologies in Ukraine is a priority now. Especially for public authorities. This will allow to reduce the risks of corruption in equipment procurement, significantly reduce budget expenditures and accelerate the introduction of innovations in the country.

Mykhailo Fedorov, Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Digital Transformation

For many years, Amazon (AWS) has had a strong, dedicated and growing customer community in Ukraine. We welcome the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding with the Ukrainian Government and look forward to working together for the digital development of the country.
