Ukraine becomes a Partner of the Nordic Institute for Interoperability Solutions

Ukraine becomes a Partner of the Nordic Institute for Interoperability Solutions (NIIS) to collaborate on the X-Road® data exchange layer and other digital government solutions, participate in respective discussions, and help promote the scope of NIIS.

NIIS, a non-profit association with Estonia, Finland, and Iceland as its Members, focuses on practical collaboration and innovation in digital government solutions. It manages the development of X-Road®, an open-source data exchange layer, and Harmony eDelivery Access®, among other products. Besides Ukraine, the Faroe Islands and the Government of Åland are the current Partners of NIIS.

The partnership with Ukraine is a significant step towards co-development of interoperable digital solutions. Ukraine, as a Partner complementing NIIS’s experience and solution portfolio from its side, can also benefit from the cooperation through knowledge-sharing in technical working groups and further accelerate its digital transformation.

“This partnership shows the commitment of NIIS members and Ukraine to improve digital public infrastructure and highlights the growing importance of international collaboration in this field. As digital challenges transcend national borders, partnerships like this are crucial in building resilient and interconnected digital societies”, says Ville Sirviö, the CEO of NIIS.

“NIIS plays a significant role in driving innovation in digital government and fostering cross-border collaboration. We are excited about the opportunity to partner with NIIS to shape a forward-thinking future together. It's a true honour for our team, particularly as we in Ukraine have firsthand experience in implementing the X-Road model with the Trembita data exchange layer”, says Valeriya Ionan, Deputy Minister for Eurointegration at the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.
