Ukrainian Entrepreneurs in the Global Business

UKRAINIAN ENTREPRENEURS IN THE GLOBAL BUSINESS: Olga Shubina on the European Enterprise Network In the world of economic challenges and opportunities, Olga Shubina, the coordinator of Enterprise Europe Network Ukraine and the head of the Export Support Coordination Center of the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, emphasizes the importance of harnessing key advantages and success strategies in participating in the European Enterprise Network.

We successfully conduct business missions and B2B negotiations within various forums, exhibitions, and conferences, including company missions and study visits.” Last year, we managed to showcase collections of young designers for free at the Turin Fashion Design Week.
