For digital reforms to succeed, the public sector needs leaders who can build teams, make informed decisions, and implement meaningful change. The unique educational project CDTO Campus is dedicated to training and upskilling precisely these leaders.

About the project

CDTO Campus

a national educational initiative that prepares CDTOs and their teams — professionals who implement digital transformation and innovative technology projects within public administration. It is the first project in the world to offer long-term, structured programmes specifically designed for the public sector. Unlike short-term courses or business-focused programmes, CDTO Campus addresses the real challenges of governance: legislation, state systems, crisis conditions, and high public accountability.

Project Background

CDTO Campus was launched on the initiative of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine under the leadership of Mykhailo Fedorov, Minister of Defence of Ukraine, Minister of Digital Transformation (2019–2026), and Valeria Ionan, Advisor to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Advisor to the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine. The project officially started in November 2023, with the first customised programmes launched in January 2024.

The educational programmes

are grounded in Ukraine’s practical experience of digital transformation, including implementation during wartime conditions.

The mission of CDTO Campus

is to ensure that the state is supported by professionals who can implement digital and innovative change in a systemic, responsible, and results-driven manner.

Training at CDTO Campus

equips participants with the competencies required for the role of a digital transformation leader in the public sector. The programmes prepare professionals capable of taking responsibility for digital reforms and implementing them at the institutional level.
