We actively collaborate with women-led businesses and continue to support their growth and development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, the potential of women\u2019s entrepreneurship is unfolding like never before. The war has shown that there\u2019s no more time for hesitation or delay. It\u2019s time for women to be bold. They bring energy into business, deliver exceptionally high levels of service, and have a deep understanding of their clients. That\u2019s why the number of women entrepreneurs has grown noticeably, and that makes me truly happy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every crisis is a sea of opportunity, and right now, there are more opportunities than ever for women in business.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, many major players have exited the market \u2014 some emigrated, others saw their businesses destroyed by shelling, and some simply didn\u2019t dare to continue operating in these conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, many men have gone to serve in the military, which has led to a talent shortage, especially in leadership roles. Companies are being forced to search for new professionals or train them, and often these professionals are women.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third, women-led businesses now have a greater opportunity to enter international markets. Many female entrepreneurs are attending international trade fairs, showcasing their products, and trying to establish foreign offices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI went through it myself \u2014 when I had to leave behind something I\u2019d been doing for over 18 years and start from scratch. I invested all my money, savings, and time into a new venture. And it worked. It worked brilliantly, if you ask me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\ud83d\udd87\ufe0f<\/b> Learn more about the grant market and the prospects of additional funding for Ukrainian businesses in an interview with UNRISE CEO Irina Palko for <a href=\"https:\/\/elle.ua\/elle-business\/kozhna-kriza--ce-mozhlivosti-ih-zaraz-bagato-dlya-zhinok-u-biznesi-intervyu-z-ekspertkoyu-iz-zaluchennya-grantiv-ta-kapitalu-irinoyu-palko\/?fbclid=IwY2xjawKhVWdleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETBuTUhvRjhGdDBWd21vUU5tAR5bYnDIm9embeSjx7SRb93O3xbSw9dsMgCyWa2pehnTGYHudfMj0KrQ40z96g_aem_QUHcKLXJBhfUTns5Y6Ifng\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ELLE Ukraine<\/a> at the link.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-896 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/unrise.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/6u8a8911-dod-d-d-n-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unrise.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/6u8a8911-dod-d-d-n-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/unrise.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/6u8a8911-dod-d-d-n-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/unrise.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/6u8a8911-dod-d-d-n-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/unrise.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/6u8a8911-dod-d-d-n-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/unrise.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/6u8a8911-dod-d-d-n-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can Ukrainian businesses not only \u201cstay afloat\u201d during the storm but also grow and scale in these challenging times?
