The development of women’s entrepreneurship and the presence of women in all spheres of the economy provides harmony in making operational decisions and a multifaceted view of doing business. Seminars for the development of entrepreneurship provide participants with knowledge that helps them achieve their goals, skills to successfully overcome turbulence and become a strong support for the economy in the period of formation and recovery after the victory of Ukraine.

UKRSIBBANK actively promotes the principles and goals of sustainable development in Ukraine, is a member of the UN Global Compact Network.

More than 4,000 resilient and free Ukrainian women took part in our seminars this year. It is incredible that so many participants showed resilience and desire to develop their own business to support the economy of our country today and in the future. Women in business are flexible, they know how to adapt and look for opportunities where it would seem that they could not be found. With our program "Women in business", we support women in business and are ready to help in the development of their business. Our speakers shared their important experience of working during martial law, and most importantly, advice on how to act in different situations.
