Ukraine's draft AI Development Strategy 2030 has been handed over by Digital Nation

A strong foundation for Ukraine’s AI-powered future has been handed over by Digital Nation at the end of March 2026. 🇺🇦

The draft AI Development Strategy 2030, designed to help elevate Ukraine into the world’s top three most advanced countries in AI adoption, has now been officially handed over and opened for public feedback.

The strategy lays out a bold path toward 2030 - from AI-powered public services and defence capabilities to talent development, business growth, and Ukraine’s own sovereign AI infrastructure, including national models built for the Ukrainian language and context.

But a strategy’s strength depends not only on what it says, also on how it is developed. The team assembled by Digital Nation co-created the roadmap with the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and many experts across government, business, the AI community, and international partners - ensuring that ownership extends far beyond a single institution and that the best available knowledge is embedded throughout the document.

“The Government of Ukraine has a real chance of making the ambitious AI future for the country a reality - now is the time to make the decisions, cement the partnerships and participation that turn strategy into delivery." Siim Sikkut, Managing Partner at DN.

A good state-wide strategy represents a shared national direction built by the people who will lead, implement, and benefit from it. That is exactly why this public feedback round matters so much.

Digital Nation's work was funded by Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV). The project also received support from the Digitalisation for Growth, Integrity and Transparency Project (UK DIGIT), implemented by Eurasia Foundation and funded by UK Dev, and from the European Union, co-funded by the French Government with support from Expertise France within the EU4Innovation East project.
