"The Council for Support of Entrepreneurship under Martial Law

 "This is a response to the needs of society, to the demands of businesses and investors who want to see fairness and integrity in the work of law enforcement. I am pleased that the discussion about the pressure of regulatory bodies on business will finally be transferred to the realm of numbers and data, rather than social media posts," emphasized the Head of the President's Office.

Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin mentioned that more information is planned to be added to the dashboard in the future, and the tool itself will be extended to other types of criminal offenses.

Ukraine Establishes Council to Support Entrepreneurship During Martial Law, Launches ‘Made in Ukraine’ Economic Platform

On January 26, 2024, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed Decree No. 30/2024, establishing the Council on Business Support in Martial Law

This advisory body under the President aims to strengthen the collaboration between the state and the business sector under martial law conditions, focusing on preserving and developing entrepreneurial potential.
The Council's primary responsibilities include analyzing the state of entrepreneurship rights under martial law, shaping policies to guarantee these rights, and proposing solutions to address related issues. It is expected to facilitate effective interaction between the state, business entities, public associations, and to share international best practices.


Simultaneously, President Zelenskyy signed Decree No. 31/2024, initiating the All-Ukrainian economic platform
"Made in Ukraine."

This platform is designed to foster dialogue and unite efforts of the government and business community to tackle challenges posed by Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine, enhance the activity of Ukrainian producers, and boost the national product’s popularity and marketability. It also aims to improve the investment environment and create economic conditions for Ukraine's economic recovery, modernization, and growth.
The "Made in Ukraine" platform, patronized by the President, will serve as a hub for consistent communication and coordination among state bodies, relocated enterprises, businesses of varying sizes, entrepreneur associations, foreign investors, political figures, scientists, and experts.
The Office of the President, the Cabinet of Ministers, and regional state administrations, in collaboration with entrepreneur associations and experts, are tasked with presenting the platform's concept and structure and ensuring its operational launch within a month.
This development follows the President’s enactment of the National Security and Defense Council's decision on January 23, 2024, regarding immediate measures for economic security during martial law. The NSDC’s recommendation led to the formation of the Council on Business Support in Martial Law.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that he had established the Council to merge the efforts of the state and business towards preserving and developing Ukraine's entrepreneurial potential in the face of Russia's full-scale war against our country.

"War issues take up almost all of my time. I stand for state institutions helping entrepreneurs. You are now ready to act, you have the energy to focus on these issues. Because this is your life and you know what laws need to be changed, what amendments need to be made, what reforms need to be brought to the parliament. 
These are universal issues,"
--- the President said, addressing business representatives.

For his part, the Head of the President's Office spoke about the work done together with the Council members. In particular, he noted that pursuant to the President's instruction, the Council had conducted a series of meetings and come up with a list of the most pressing issues to be resolved. . .
Particular attention was paid to the introduction of digital solutions to modernize the interaction between the state and business, namely, the creation of a platform for receiving feedback from business and an analytical module for the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations, which will allow to see the full picture of criminal proceedings in the country in real time.
  • The digital platform is expected to facilitate feedback between the government and businesses – regional, small, and medium-sized – and to provide insight and an opportunity to systematize the issues that are of primary concern to entrepreneurs and identify ways to improve the business environment.
  • For each of the issues discussed, the parties outlined an action plan and ways for business to participate in developing systemic, concrete solutions with the involvement of the Council for Support of Entrepreneurship under Martial Law, a wide range of businessmen, and the Made in Ukraine platform.
The entrepreneurs thanked the President and other government officials for the constructive dialog.
In particular, Oleh Horokhovskyi, co-founder of FINTECH BAND LLC and the Monobank project, member of the Council, noted that representatives of the government, parliament, and many specialized experts were involved in the consultations, which gives entrepreneurs hope for a positive outcome.
"The Head of the Presidential Office has done a great job in preparing this meeting. Many stakeholders were involved in consultations with us, and we saw constructive thinking and a sincere desire to improve the efficiency of interaction between the state and business. We are very inspired by this track and want to assure you that we will actively support and communicate all the positive decisions that we will come up with and that will be adopted by your team to support business in Ukraine," the businessman said.
  • He noted that it is impossible to win this war without the bravery of our warriors, without a robust defense industry, without the help of our allies, and without powerful Ukrainian entrepreneurs.
"We consider this work a great trust and a great responsibility. And our duty and sincere desire is to help the country. Together we want to create a country where businessmen are respected. Especially those who pay taxes and do not break the law. They should feel respect, appreciation and support," added Oleh Horokhovskyi.
