The TMPO team met with members of the CyberTech Committee of the IT Ukraine Association to discuss how Ukrainian cybersecurity companies can take part in projects that strengthen the country's cyber resilience.
Building international public-private partnerships is one of the Tallinn Mechanism's long-term priorities and this area is strongly supported by donor countries. Reflecting this shared focus, Tetjana Wenzel, Policy Advisor for the Partnership for Strengthening Cybersecurity implemented by GIZ, also joined the discussion.
During the meeting, Olesya Danylchenko, Head of TMPO, shared how the Tallinn Mechanism has evolved over the past two and a half years. She also presented TMPO's key achievements over the last year and highlighted practical ways for Ukrainian companies to engage in projects supported by the initiative.
Particular attention was given to the Tallinn Mechanism Platform. The platform helps cybersecurity companies connect with international partners, follow new business opportunities, and access information about open tenders, grant programmes, and other initiatives. In just five months, more than 170 companies from 22 countries have registered on the platform.
"Strengthening international public-private partnerships is one of TMPO's key priorities. It creates value for everyone involved. International partners help Ukraine introduce advanced technologies and strengthen its cyber capabilities, while Ukraine shares unique practical experience gained from defending against cyberattacks. This exchange of knowledge benefits both Ukraine and the international cybersecurity community," said Olesya Danylchenko.
TMPO experts also shared practical advice on how companies can track new opportunities, understand the project pipeline, and prepare for future cooperation. The discussion focused on the practical aspects of implementing Tallinn Mechanism projects. Private business asked about the types of projects that receive support, the requirements for implementers, the selection process, and the factors companies should consider when developing project ideas.
"Today, Ukrainian CyberTech companies have the opportunity to do more than provide technologies and services. They can become active partners in international programmes that strengthen cyber resilience. Meetings like this help businesses better understand public sector needs, how international donors work, and how to engage in international projects. Our goal as the CyberTech Committee is to create direct dialogue between Ukrainian companies and international partners so that more Ukrainian businesses can contribute to strategic initiatives that strengthen Ukraine's cyber resilience," said Serhii Kulyk, Chair of the CyberTech Committee of the IT Ukraine Association.
TMPO will continue working with the private sector to strengthen international partnerships under the Tallinn Mechanism framework.
