The full-scale war has had a significant impact on Ukraine’s economy, especially on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are the backbone of local development. Lack of resources, low digitalisation and limited opportunities to enter new markets remain key challenges for businesses.
The Center for Innovation Development together with the Kharkiv Community Development NGO, is launching the project “Business Boost: Marketing Platform (e-Catalogue) to Strengthen the Capacity of MSMEs to Promote Their Products and Services” within the framework of the “Transformative Recovery for Human Security in Ukraine” Project, funded by the Government of Japan and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Ukraine.
Project objective:
To create an innovative platform to support MSMEs, which will help them promote their products and services, find partners and customers, and enter new markets. The platform will promote transparent mechanisms of interaction between business and local authorities, as well as increase the level of trust through automatic verification of the integrity of companies.
The project includes:
The project will promote the development of small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) by creating an innovative platform for promoting goods and services, increasing transparency and trust through automatic integrity checks of companies. This will help businesses expand their access to new markets, find reliable partners and customers, and strengthen cooperation between businesses and local authorities. This will increase the competitiveness of small and medium-sized businesses and improve the conditions for investment and development of the regional economy.
The project is being implemented by the United Nations Development Programme in Ukraine as part of the “Transformative Recovery for Human Security in Ukraine” project, funded by the Government of Japan and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Ukraine.
