DOHA: Qatar and Ukraine have forged a strong and enduring partnership that has deepened and diversified in many fields. Ukraine’s tech companies can provide unique opportunities for Qatari public and private sector representatives to obtain the highest level of digital services at an affordable cost said a top official.

Speaking to The Peninsula, Vice Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine H E Oleksandr Bornyakov highlighted the cooperation in the field of technology sectors of Qatar and Ukraine and ways to boost technological advancements.

“We are thinking about creating a Qatar-Ukraine technology bridge to have a place for Ukrainian companies to soft-land here to explore Qatar and the whole Middle East through Qatar. Also, providing Qatari businesses with more knowledge about what Ukrainian companies do and offering their services to Ukrainian companies,” Bornyakov said.

Vice Minister of Digital Transformation noted that innovation is one of the key pillars in Qatar’s strategy and also the excellence of institution support. This is where Ukraine can contribute a lot as “we consider ourselves an innovative country. We have around 5000 companies, 300,000 people who focus on innovation; they’re on edge of innovation.”
