The ministry noted that opening the market for IT products for the Defence Forces should be an important step. According to the Ministry of Defence, this will make it possible to involve a broader segment of Ukraine’s IT industry in developing digital solutions for the military and shorten the path from military needs to the development and practical implementation of products.
