In London, Mykhailo Fedorov, Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, and Liam Maxwell, Director of Government Transformation at Amazon Web Services, signed a document that will accelerate digital transformation and innovation in Ukraine.

“Thanks to the signed document, educational institutions will be able to join the AWS Academy and teach Ukrainian students cloud technologies based on the Amazon experience. These services will be free and available to an unlimited number of students and professors,” Fedorov posted on Telegram.

Amazon programs will help develop Ukraine's IT infrastructure, businesses, and startups that use cloud technologies.
