ELEKS acquires majority stake in ADM Interactive, strengthening Estonia–Ukraine digital cooperation

International IT company ELEKS, founded in Ukraine and headquartered in Estonia, has acquired a majority stake in Estonian software and digital services company ADM Interactive. The acquisition strengthens capabilities for developing public sector digital solutions across Europe and emerging markets. The parties have agreed not to disclose the transaction value or other financial terms.

Tallinn, 7 October 2026. According to the parties, the transaction represents an investment aimed at expanding the team and strengthening digital capabilities in Estonia. Following the acquisition, ADM Interactive’s active shareholders and existing management team will continue to lead the company, and plans are in place to expand its Estonian workforce. With this transaction, ELEKS gains local leadership and a stronger team in Estonia. Together, the companies will focus on growing capabilities in public-sector digital transformation, including secure and resilient digital public services and other areas of strategic importance.

According to Minister of Economic Affairs and Industry Liina Vahtras, international cooperation between companies helps bring Estonia’s digital expertise and experience to a global audience. "Both countries have knowledge and experience that they can share with one another. Estonia has world-class digital public services, while Ukraine has gained unique experience in ensuring the continuity of those services under the conditions of a full-scale war. For Estonia, the value of this transaction lies in combining this expertise to create something truly unique and in helping bring that competence to European markets," Vahtras added.

"Estonia is a global benchmark for a digital society, which is why ELEKS is headquartered in Tallinn. By partnering with ADM, we are fusing Estonia’s unparalleled public sector expertise with the scale and resilience of Ukrainian engineering excellence to deliver next-generation solutions for public sector and commercial clients across Europe," said Andriy Krupa, CEO of ELEKS.

The growth of ELEKS’ operations in Estonia and the expansion of the company’s public sector practice across Europe and emerging markets will be led by Riho Pihelpuu, Country Manager of ELEKS Estonia and CEO of ADM Interactive. ADM’s clients will continue to be served by the same team, now supported by the knowledge and experience of more than 2,000 ELEKS specialists worldwide.

"For nearly 30 years, we have been building digital services for a small country. It has been an exceptional testing ground where solutions are developed quickly and tested under public scrutiny. At times, however, we lacked the scale and, for certain projects, the specialised technical expertise needed to take the next step. With ELEKS, those limitations disappear. We gain deep expertise in areas such as data science and artificial intelligence, while the same team can now compete for tenders and deliver projects that were previously beyond our reach," said Pihelpuu.

The companies’ cooperation builds on the broader framework of long-standing cooperation between Estonia and Ukraine, supported by governments, embassies and development cooperation organisations in both countries. ADM and ELEKS have previously worked together on public sector projects in Ukraine and in emerging markets.

"We are grateful to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Justice and Digital Affairs, ESTDEV, and the Estonian Business and Innovation Agency for their contribution. Their visits, programmes and initiatives have helped build the partnerships that ultimately led to this transaction," Pihelpuu added.

"Ukraine has a strong technology sector, highly skilled people, and unique experience of maintaining and developing digital services under the extraordinary pressure of a full-scale war. Estonia brings its own remarkable experience in building a digital state, developing trusted public services and turning innovative ideas into practical solutions. When Ukrainian technological capacity meets Estonian experience, trust and access to the European market, we can create solutions that are valuable not only for Ukraine and Estonia, but for Europe and beyond," said Volodymyr Boiechko, Ambassador of Ukraine to Estonia.
