Act, Develop, Rebuild: Kharkiv Opens New Opportunities for Business
The team of Charitable Foundation “Revival Source” (CFSR), together with partners — NGO “KHARKIV COMMUNITY” and representatives of the Public Council at the Main Directorate of the State Tax Service in Kharkiv Region — joined the opening of the restored Diia.Business | Kharkiv Entrepreneur Support Centre in Kharkiv — an important space for entrepreneurship development that was forced to suspend its activities due to the full-scale invasion of russia into Ukraine.
Together with representatives of civil society, the business community, and the leadership of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, including Head of KRMA Oleh Syniehubov and Deputy Head of KRMA Andrii Doroshko, we became participants in an event of great importance for Kharkiv region.
For our teams, the resumption of such a centre’s work today means far more than simply opening a modern space for entrepreneurs to connect.
It is a clear signal of Kharkiv region’s resilience, belief in the region’s economic recovery, and real support for people who, despite all challenges, continue to work, create jobs, launch new initiatives, and invest in Ukraine’s future.
Diia.Business | Kharkiv is a space for those already developing their own business, as well as for those who are only planning to take their first step into entrepreneurship while remaining an active part of our Unbreakable Region.
Today, the Centre offers the business community:
- free consultations on marketing, finance, sales, legal matters, and taxation;
- lectures, workshops, practical meetings, and educational programmes;
- support for business digital transformation;
- the opportunity to test products in a physical Pop-up location before entering the market;
- finding partners, exploring new opportunities, and engaging with the entrepreneurial community.
We are convinced: strong business is not only about the economy. It is about jobs, community resilience, regional development, and our shared ability to rebuild the country even in the most difficult times.
For civil society, charitable, and expert communities, the development of economic activity within communities is an important element of long-term resilience and recovery.
TOGETHER — THE ONLY WAY FORWARD
The Diia.Business Entrepreneur Support Centre in Kharkiv was opened on the initiative of Kharkiv IT Cluster together with the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and the Entrepreneurship and Export Promotion Office, with financial support from the Partnership Fund for a Resilient Ukraine and the UK government through UK aid under the BLOOM Programme.
The first year of the BLOOM Programme was implemented by a consortium including Mercy Corps, International Rescue Committee, Swisscontact, and Right to Protection.
The Centre’s partner is UKRSIBBANK BNP Paribas Group.
