🇺🇦🤝🇪🇪 Ukraine and Estonia join forces for cybersecurity! On December 9, the Ukrainian-Estonian Business Forum took place in Kyiv, focusing on shared challenges and opportunities in cybersecurity, digital resilience, and IT. Kitsoft CEO Oleksandr Iefremov presented the Security Operations Center (SOC) — solution for protecting government IT systems and critical infrastructure. 🔒 In a world where cyberattacks increase by 15-20% annually, cooperation between Ukraine and Estonia is of strategic importance. Both countries have accumulated substantial experience and unique expertise in cybersecurity, offering significant potential for scaling innovations. Joint efforts will not only enhance digital resilience but also strengthen competitive positions in the global market. 💬 “Estonia and Ukraine share common cybersecurity challenges, and only by combining our efforts, we have a chance to effectively overcome them. The partnership helps not only to strengthen the cyber defense of both countries but also to promote our innovations globally,” — said Oleksandr Iefremov. 🌍 Estonian companies have already successfully exported their solutions to Europe and Africa, and Ukrainian innovations also have immense potential to be in high demand. An important factor in Estonian businesses entering international markets is government support, and Estonia should serve as an example for Ukraine. 💙 Despite the challenges of war, Estonian companies are successfully operating in Ukraine, investing and supporting our country. It is inspiring how many Estonians are eager to learn the Ukrainian language — this evokes deep respect and admiration! 🫶 The forum marked another significant step in the development of the Ukrainian-Estonian partnership. As a result, we exchanged experiences and agreed on concrete steps and further cooperation. 🔗 More about the forum’s outcomes — at the link: https://lnkd.in/dENkTK8g We thank all the participants for their productive discussions, valuable insights, and willingness to share their experiences!

🇩🇪 🇺🇦 On December 2, we took part in Ecosystem Connectors | Berlin Kyiv, an event organized by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in cooperation with Enpact. The event brought together entrepreneurs, government officials, and investors to strengthen ties between the startup ecosystems of Berlin and Kyiv. 🎤 Kitsoft CEO Oleksandr Iefremov shared Ukraine's digitalization experience and presented our low-code platform Liquio, which has become the foundation for many government digital services — notably, the Diia state services portal, recognized globally as a benchmark for e-government. He emphasized that Ukraine is not only a recipient of aid but also a thriving center of innovation, capable of delivering effective solutions for the digitalization of cities and governments. The experience of Ukrainians who moved to Germany at the start of russia's full-scale invasion has played a significant role in rethinking approaches to public service transformation in the country: 💬 “The demand for digital public services in Germany is immense, as bureaucracy hinders business and creates challenges for citizens. People expect change, and politicians are increasingly embracing digitalization. Ukrainian innovations are already changing the world, and we are ready to offer even more in the future.” 🤝 Oleksandr Iefremov and Kitsoft's Partner in Germany Michael Hübner discussed how Liquio can support Germany's digital transformation with Franziska Giffey, Senator for Economic Affairs, Energy, and Public Enterprises. These dialogues open up new prospects for partnerships and scaling our technologies to European markets. We thank the organizers and look forward to productive collaboration and successful joint projects 🚀
