The company Meta and the Ukrainian government's project, Diia.Business, are launching a training center for Ukrainian small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).

Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, reported on Telegram.

"Meta together with Diia.Business is launching a training center for Ukrainian small and medium-sized businesses. Training and courses from the company on the Meta Blueprint and Meta Boost platforms are free for entrepreneurs," the government official said.

Fedorov noted that everyone would be able to receive training in marketing, SMM, and content creation at the center. All programs are taught in Ukrainian.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, Meta plans to allocate 1.5 million dollars for advertising campaigns for Ukrainian businesses.

"This is a significant support for the development and promotion of products and services of our entrepreneurs," the digital minister noted.

He also informed that during the four months of the full-scale war in Ukraine, almost 58,000 enterprises were registered, of which nearly 50,000 were private entrepreneurs.

Meta also reported the launch of the initiative: "Supporting Ukrainian businesses is critical to the economy and communities across the country, which is why we've launched our small business support hub. Here you'll find on-demand digital training, tools, and resources to help you through these challenging times."

The company added that Meta Boost training would help entrepreneurs to build skills and find tips on future-proofing business. As for Meta Blueprint, the company created custom online courses for Ukrainian small businesses. These courses are designed to help educate and support Ukrainian entrepreneurs to market business online to a global audience.

Earlier, Rubryka reported that the first Ukrainian NFT war museum, created by Ukraine's Ministry of Digital Transformation, raised more than $1 million. The museum was designed to help tell the truth about russia's war crimes in Ukraine and raise funds for the Ukrainian army.

Rubryka also reported that the Ministry of Digital Transformation launched "Be Brave Like Ukraine," an online course about Ukraine's courage through history and culture. The course is designed as a guide, a kind of virtual journey through Ukraine and the timeline of the Ukrainian identity being formed. It will be especially interesting to join this online journey for those who feel a lack of knowledge about Ukraine.

Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov also announced that Ukraine launched the first Army of Drones training. The Army of Drones project, created by the United24 fundraising platform with the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Ministry of Digital Transformation, aims to raise 200 professional unmanned aerial systems of the tactical level for aerial surveillance of the Ukrainian army.
