A new hub for sustainable business support is launching in Odesa, aimed at assisting small and medium enterprises during challenging times.

This initiative was announced by Boris Emeldesh, the president of the All-Ukrainian Entrepreneurs Association.

The innovative space is being established as part of the project «Supporting Business in Wartime and Economic Recovery» with the support of UNDP Ukraine and funding from the Japanese government.

Small and medium enterprises are crucial for regional economic development. During the war, they face the greatest losses. The opening of this hub is not just about creating a physical space but also about establishing a comprehensive support system: informational, consultative, and logistical. It is a way to maintain economic activity and help restore communities affected by conflict, – emphasized Boris Emeldesh.
