As reported by Ukrinform, Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov announced this on Telegram.

According to him, this is a powerful step. Palantir’s experience will help hackathon participants find more effective solutions for the development of military technology in Ukraine.

Palantir develops software for intelligence agencies, banks and hedge funds. Clients include the FBI, the US Department of Defense and other US government agencies. The company’s digital products have been helping fight terrorism around the world for many years.

Fedorov thanked Palantir for supporting our projects. Special thanks to Alex Karp, CEO of the company. Let me remind you that in June he was the first of the CEOs of large Western companies to come to Ukraine. Since then Palantir has been a partner. We continue to cooperate in Ukraine’s defense, security and digital technologies sector.
