Diia.Business

The national platform for entrepreneurship and export development

Diia.Business

The case shows how AMEDIA reduces a public service to a single entry point: state identification, personal recommendations and the offline centre network operate as parts of one product rather than as separate departmental resources.

01 — OVERVIEW

One resource for starting, growing and exporting

Diia.Business is Ukraine’s national project for entrepreneurship and export development, launched in September 2024. The project is run by the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine together with the state institution "Entrepreneurship and Export Promotion Office".

Diia.Business combines a one-stop-shop online portal with a network of offline entrepreneur support centres across Ukraine.

Purpose of the product

Bring consultations, education, funding and export support together in one place — so an entrepreneur doesn't have to hunt for answers across dozens of sources.

What Diia.Business changes

A single support path for every stage: for those still planning to start a business, those already running one and looking to grow, and those entering export markets or already working on them. Offline consultations at support centres in a number of cities come on top of that.

02 — WHO IT'S FOR

Four stages of the entrepreneurial path

The platform serves entrepreneurs at every stage — from a first idea to entering international markets:

Those planning to start out

An entrepreneur's handbook, courses and free consultations for the first steps.

Active entrepreneurs

Grant programmes, a marketplace of digital solutions and consultations for growth.

Exporters

An exporter's handbook, market analytics, tenders, events and ECA services for entering foreign markets.

Startups and innovators

Funding and support programmes, events and partnership requests.

03 — THE PROBLEM IT SOLVES

Business support was scattered across agencies

Entrepreneurs faced two problems:

Information about business support, consultations, grants and export was traditionally scattered across different agencies and resources

Assembling everything needed meant searching for answers in dozens of different places

Diia.Business brings everything needed to start, grow and begin exporting together on one platform.

04 — KEY FUNCTIONALITY

Six lines of support in one account

Consultations

Free expert consultations on business, legal, financial and export matters.

Funding and support programmes

Grant programmes and financial assistance for developing business ideas.

Marketplace of digital solutions

Services and tools for the everyday needs of a business.

Education

The offline centre network

Entrepreneur support centres operate in Ivano-Frankivsk, Odesa, Poltava, Uzhhorod, Bucha, Ternopil, Kryvyi Rih, Kremenchuk, Lutsk, Rivne and at Taras Shevchenko National University in Kyiv. In Kharkiv, Mykolaiv and Cherkasy the centres currently operate online.

05 — HOW THE PRODUCT WORKS

From signing in to support in your own city

Five steps an entrepreneur goes through on the platform:

1

Registration and identification

Signing in to the entrepreneur's account by email or a Google account; the profile can then be verified via ID.GOV.UA (BankID, qualified e-signature, Diia.Signature).

2

Profiles

Personal data, a company profile, an exporter profile, an expert or consultant profile — depending on the role.

3

Personal recommendations

The recommendation service analyses the profile and selects relevant support programmes.

4

Using the services

Consultations, training, tenders, the marketplace, the events calendar.

5

Offline support

Turning to a Diia.Business entrepreneur support centre in your own region when needed.

06 — AI AND AUTOMATION

Assistants and recommendations instead of manual search

Two strands of automation run on the platform, both inside the entrepreneur's account:

Diia.Business AI assistants

Answer general and specialised questions from entrepreneurs: providing information, educational support and help arranging a consultation.

Personal recommendation service

Selects relevant support programmes based on the entrepreneur's profile and open registration data.

The result

Faster access to relevant information, better-informed entrepreneurs, and more effective use of the support team's resources.
