The impact of international projects and programmes on the development of innovative ecosystems is studied. The outline of such programmes as Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, Digital Europe Programme, Junior Achievement Ukraine is presented as the most valuable for Ukraine as they support innovative projects and ecosystems within their scope regarding separate economy sectors and directions.
