Abstract: This article examines the topic of Ukraine’s digitalization in the postwar period and identifies its impact on job creation in the field of technology and innovation. It should be noted that Ukraine is the only European country that has sufficient human resources to be involved in the development of the digital economy. The coronavirus pandemic and the war in Ukraine have forced our country to integrate technology more intensively into the economy and adapt to new environmental changes, which in fact demonstrates the relevance of a more detailed consideration of the development of digitalization in the postwar period as one of the main tools for economic recovery. To begin with, the essence of digitalization as an economic phenomenon was investigated and the vision and understanding of this concept by scholars was analyzed. Next, the level of digitalization of the Ukrainian economy was studied in detail by analyzing its innovation potential and determining that Ukraine’s strengths are the high level of knowledge and the availability of specialists who are ready to work for the development of innovation. It should be noted that during the period of martial law in the country, the volume of the artificial intelligence market and technology exports have grown, which are positive indicators of the deepening digitalization of the Ukrainian economy. Having studied the level of digitalization of Ukrainian regions, it was determined that it is mostly positively growing, with the exception of regions located close to the military action zone. As a promising direction for the development of digitalization in Ukraine and job growth, it was proposed to create a digital platform aimed at attracting foreign companies to Ukrainian business. Therefore, in the context of post-war recovery, it is proposed to create an information platform for innovative start-ups which will not only expand their activities in foreign markets but also contribute to increasing the level of digitalization and increasing the number of jobs.
