Veterans Workplace Empowerment

This program is designed to ensure that Ukraine’s military technology and human capital—especially veterans with valuable skills—are used for peaceful and productive purposes. Ukraine faces significant risks that its advanced military technologies and skilled human capital developed during the war could be sold or captured by malign actors. While the number of companies hiring veterans has grown significantly in recent years, many still lack clear plans, policies, and the necessary knowledge for effective veteran reintegration. Only a small percentage of businesses offer dedicated support programs, and around half of companies in Ukraine neither have specific programs for veterans nor provide targeted training. Further action is needed to build the knowledge base and ensure comprehensive professional adaptation and successful integration of veterans into civilian life. Large national and international companies, through their corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, can strengthen Ukraine’s workforce resilience and contribute to a stable economy. Supporting veteran reintegration not only helps secure Ukraine’s human capital but also promotes broader economic development, stability, and security.

Business Development

Latvia is increasing investment to support research and development and seeks to expand research cooperation with the United States. In September 2024 Latvia and the United States signed an updated Science and Technology Agreement, which provides a framework for increased cooperation.  While Latvia hosts a robust research ecosystem, researchers have been less effective in commercializing their products.  With new amendments to the Law on Scientific Activity supporting technology transfer activities, stakeholders are eager to develop improved commercialization models. An Open World program focused on research commercialization would provide opportunities to develop new transatlantic relationships between institutions and researchers, as well as share best practices from U.S. institutions that expand public/private sector cooperation in Research and development. By building U.S. connections and offering workable models for commercialization, the program will offer innovators options grounded in transatlantic relationships and values as an alternative to cooperation with malign actors.

Legislative Program

Members of Parliament - Legislative Body Staffing

This program would introduce Bulgarian parliamentarians to U.S. legislative models that employ permanent, nonpartisan committee staff to strengthen institutional memory, policy expertise, and legislative oversight. Unlike Bulgaria’s current practice—where committee staff change with each new chair—the U.S. Congress and many state legislatures rely on professional staff to ensure continuity, procedural consistency, and high-quality lawmaking. By examining how this system supports effective governance and bipartisan accountability, the program would encourage Bulgarian MPs to consider structural reforms that professionalize Parliament and enhance its long-term capacity.

Members of Parliament - Parliamentary Intelligence Oversight

The program exposes the Kosovo Parliamentary Committee on Oversight of the Intelligence Agency to U.S. Congressional committees on intelligence and security, as well as other federal and state-level mechanisms on public safety, emergency management, and law enforcement. This exposure allows them to learn about robust U.S. oversight mechanisms that deter future incidents and prevent extremist threats from taking root. The program strengthens civilian oversight of Kosovo’s security institutions, fostering a more secure environment for U.S. businesses and investments in the region. This is crucial for U.S. national security, as a stable and secure Kosovo helps to prevent the spread of extremism and instability in the Balkans, a region of strategic importance.
