Entrepreneurship and Export Promotion Office (Ukraine)

What Entrepreneurship and Export Promotion Office (Ukraine) does

The Entrepreneurship and Export Promotion Office (operating under the Diia.Business brand) is a Ukrainian state entity established in 2015 and administered by the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine. Headquartered in Kyiv with 22 employees, it functions as the official government gateway for promoting Ukrainian exports and facilitating inbound trade partnerships. The Office runs a digital platform at export.gov.ua that catalogs Ukrainian exporters by industry and region, lists international companies seeking partnerships with Ukrainian businesses, hosts an e-commerce section encouraging direct purchases of Ukrainian goods, and publishes trade analytics dashboards and success stories. Its core product suite includes the Ukrainian Exporters Catalogue, Export to Ukraine Catalogue, Regional Export Catalogues, Buy Ukrainian Products and Services marketplace, Dashboards for trade analytics, and a Digital Europe Programme National Contact Point service. The Office also operates as the National Contact Point for the EU's Digital Europe Programme, channeling European digital transformation funding to Ukrainian entities.

The entity's business model is explicitly non-commercial: all services are provided free of charge with no fees or pricing structure, and the Office does not generate revenue. Operations are funded through the Ukrainian state via the Ministry of Digital Transformation, and the platform serves as a public-good trade facilitation tool rather than a for-profit business. Go-to-market is structured around two complementary motions: event-driven international trade fair participation (e.g., SIAL China 2026, Malaysian International Food & Beverage Trade Fair 2026, TechStep Sweden healthtech events, and expert discussions on dairy exports to the EU) and marketplace listing through its digital catalogues, which enable international buyers to discover, contact, and transact with Ukrainian suppliers across verticals including food and beverages, IT, machinery, furniture, apparel, cosmetics, creative industries, construction, services, instrumentation, chemical industry, and pulp and paper. Distribution is amplified through the broader Diia.Business ecosystem and a presence on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Telegram.
