🔹 Artem Kalinichenko – Director of BAZIS 2011 LLC, Community Manager at the “Vinnytsia Business Club” Public Organization.
Over the course of three days, participants addressed issues related to regional economic policy, industrial development, attracting investment, government support for business, and the “Made in Ukraine” policy instruments.
A particular focus was placed on how regions can leverage their competitive advantages, create added value, develop the manufacturing sector, improve operational efficiency in production, and integrate Ukrainian businesses into global value chains.
For our region, manufacturing development means new jobs, investments, tax revenues, territorial development, technological modernization, and economic resilience. For the Agency, it also means continuing systematic work on the region’s economic specialization, developing cluster initiatives, supporting the manufacturing sector, and creating new opportunities for businesses and communities.
And this is just the beginning. Ahead lie two more training modules and new practical tools. The program’s final outcome will be six regional development projects—one from each participating region.
