Forbes Ukraine Annual Award 2024: How Ukrainian Entrepreneurs Are Changing the World

A closed ceremony for the “Entrepreneur of the Year” award by Forbes Ukraine was recently held in Kyiv.
The best entrepreneurs of 2024, according to Forbes Ukraine, were Lev Zhidenko and Taras Panasenko from “Avrora Multimarket”, a retail chain with over 1,480 stores and an annual turnover exceeding 26.9 billion UAH. This is truly the breakthrough of the year and a significant contribution to the transformation of the Ukrainian economy, especially important in the context of today’s challenges.
It was a great honor for UNRISE to receive an invitation and attend such an event.
“This is a truly inspiring event for entrepreneurs and personally for me, because seeing those who have achieved incredible results in just one year motivates us not to give up and to keep moving forward, despite all difficulties and circumstances. I sincerely celebrate each person who was recognized on stage, and I am very proud that all these businesses prove Ukrainian companies can be successful on the international stage and make a tremendous contribution to the development of our country and our shared victory.
Thank you for the invitation to such an impressive event,” said Iryna Palko.
We are proud to be part of such important moments and believe that Ukrainian business will continue to grow, even in the most difficult times!
