💯 €16 billion and over 110 signed agreements signal strong progress in Ukraine's reconstruction. 👉 However, business decisionmakers are still seeking a how-to-guidance 🔦 from local market experts and this is where Yuri Donets, Managing Director of SCHNEIDER GROUP Ukraine, https://lnkd.in/e2aHB9CH, is sharing here his insights on the #rebuildukraine. 👇 Question 1️⃣ Which online platforms and tools have received positive feedback from international companies researching Rebuild Ukraine investment opportunities?  💬 Out of all sources available, I would probably recommend the following three online platforms to stay consistently updated: ▶ Investment Map of Ukraine -- https://lnkd.in/dDCRh3W8 ▶ DREAM: state ecosystem that targets providing a single pipeline for all reconstruction projects -- https://dream.gov.ua/en ▶ ProZorro: one of best in class platforms, approved also by the #worldbank for its projects in Ukraine -- https://prozorro.gov.ua/en Question 2️⃣ What are ✍ the 3 essential first steps for international companies to participate in Rebuild Ukraine projects? 💬 Early market understanding is crucial for success in Ukraine. Building trust through early-staged local presence is key, as Ukrainians favor proactive companies over those waiting on the sidelines. By taking these three initial steps, international companies can ensure a strong position for success in Rebuild Ukraine projects: 👇 📍 Establishing a local presence in Ukraine demonstrates a long-term commitment to the market and allows companies to gain firsthand understanding of the business environment, regulatory landscape, and potential partners. 📍 Building of a small local team. Their market knowledge is key to finding and winning Rebuild Ukraine projects. 📍 Being operationally ready for a fast roll-out in Ukraine upon contract win.   Question 3️⃣ Many international companies remain hesitant in Ukraine. Why is proactive market entry crucial now? 💬 International companies are understandably cautious about Ukraine. But history shows post-crisis periods offer rapid recovery. Take the financial crisis in 1998 in post-Soviet countries. My previous employer back then remained committed, unlike a competitor who exited the market and adopted a limited pre-paid import strategy through distributors. Both had 40% market share. Post-crisis, we thrived, reaching 75% share, while another company struggled to regain a foothold. 💡 The lesson? Proactive entry during recovery creates lasting advantages. Don't miss out on Ukraine's reconstruction by waiting.   📲 Get in touch with SCHNEIDER GROUP Ukraine for further navigating on market entry and local business operations.
