AI has emerged in recent years as a major driver of technological change across many sectors and its influence is only going to increase. In this context, as part of the green industrial recovery programme for Ukraine 2024-28 funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, CEPS collaborated with UNIDO (UN Industrial Development Office) on this report that highlights the critical role that AI will play in Ukraine’s ongoing development. It maps how and where AI technologies are being implemented to identify leverage points for investment, research, market opportunities and to foster targeted development efforts. The report outlines how AI should be further integrated into Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction and how this should be integrated into a long-term innovation strategy with AI at its core.
Ukraine is now well on the way to becoming an AI hub in eastern Europe and further efforts to make this a reality will not only enhance Ukraine’s economic resilience and sustainable development but will also contribute to increasing Europe’s global technological competitiveness.
