Diia.City's special legal regime turned two years old in February. It was launched on the eve of the full-scale invasion. Currently, it has over 830 resident companies with more than 62,000 professionals. In February 2024, the Ministry of Digital Transformation announced plans to extend the regime to manufacturers of electric vehicles and bionic prostheses to stimulate the industries.
