The first frontline Sustainable Business Hub, a space for entrepreneurs who continue to operate in the face of war and proximity to the frontline, has been launched in Kharkiv. The new platform was created by the Association of Private Employers in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme in Ukraine with financial support from the Government of Japan. The location is located at the Kharkiv Regional Employment Centre at 137-A Shevchenko Street.
The hub is focused on supporting small and medium-sized businesses looking for new solutions in the crisis. The space is equipped with a backup power supply, high-speed internet, coworking spaces, meeting rooms and a classroom. This allows entrepreneurs to work even during power outages, as well as receive advisory support in finance, marketing, human resources and grant applications.
The hub plans to support at least 300 entrepreneurs by the end of 2025. The space is already operational and open to those who want to develop their own business, adapted to the challenges of the times. The focus is on business sustainability, the development of new ideas and the formation of an active entrepreneurial community in the region.
