The Ukrainian League of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (ULIE) is Ukraine's largest business association, representing over 13,000 members that produce 80% of Ukraine's GDP. ULIE operates 28 regional offices in Ukraine and has a Representative Office in the EU in Brussels since 2015.

The adoptability tool aims to predict the rate and level of adoption of new farming practices and inform research, development, and extension strategies. It involves researchers from CSIRO and other organizations who are developing a model-based tool to assess factors influencing adoption. An early concept version was tested with potential end-users and Version 2 was built in June 2010 and has been used in CRC projects. Further testing and validation of the tool is underway with the goal of having a validated version ready by mid-2011. The tool involves a 5 page data entry process asking 22 questions about key adoption factors and generates an adoption report describing the innovation and its predicted adoptability.
