On August 15, 2025, the GovTech Alliance of Ukraine (GTA UA), in partnership with CDTO Campus and the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, held an open presentation and Q&A session on the updated requirements for the lifecycle of public digital products.

These updates are the result of several months of collaborative work among government representatives, IT businesses, and the expert community. The changes were approved by Government Resolution No. 205 and significantly modernize the approach to creating, administering, and maintaining public IT solutions.

Key changes:

• instead of an outdated Complex Information Security System — a modern approach to information security;
• instead of piles of paperwork — only two documents to initiate a project: technical requirements and technical specifications;
• transition to international ISO and IEEE standards;
• possibility to work with open-source code and cloud technologies;
• transparent rules that open the market to more companies.

Kateryna Stavniichuk, CEO of GTA UA, expressed gratitude to Vadym Konoval, Director of the Directorate for the Development of the National Informatization Program at the Ministry of Digital Transformation, and Oksana Kazakova, Chief Specialist of the Expert Group at the same Directorate, for their comprehensive presentation and active engagement in open dialogue with participants.

GTA UA sees regulatory development as one of its key priorities in shaping a high-quality and competitive GovTech market in Ukraine. The Alliance will continue contributing to the Digital Competence Centre at the Ministry of Digital Transformation, particularly in further detailing the lifecycle of ICT systems and developing a methodology for implementing national IT standards.

The activities of the Digital Competence Center of the Ministry of Digital Transformation are supported by the European Union within the DT4UA project, implemented by the e-Governance Academy (eGA).
