We are confident that given support of both government representatives and international partners, we are up to this,” said Mykhailo Fedorov, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.
President of Ukraine Mr Volodymyr Zelensky welcomes the Forum. The keynote speaker of the Forum is Mr Andrus Ansip, former Vice President of the European Commission.
