“The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and VISA announce cooperation aimed at establishing consulting areas for small and medium-sized businesses and the development of on-line public services,” reads the report.

It is noted that the Ministry of Digital Transformation had earlier announced its intentions to create consulting areas for entrepreneurs in the format of online platforms and offline hubs in every region of Ukraine.

“Such a project is aimed at achieving a positive impact on the Ukrainian economy by promoting the level of knowledge and competence of entrepreneurs and, as a result, the success of Ukrainian businesses.
