Answered by Kanishka Narayan
DSIT assesses that there are multiple elements of UK collaboration between government, academia and industry that support Ukraine’s long‑term technological development, reaffirmed by the Prime Minister during the UK‑Ukraine Strategic Dialogue on 17 March. These include, but are not limited to: TechBridge, which connects tech businesses and has helped Ukrainian startups secure over £10 million in funding; ResearchBridge, which links researchers in priority areas to build sustainable partnerships; deepening cooperation between our space agencies on joint projects to support the peaceful uses of outer space; and work with Ukraine on digital transformation and cooperation on AI to provide best‑in‑class public services.
