Analyzing trends, the businessman predicted the development of economic trends and their consequences. Participants talked about the most attractive sectors of the economy for investing.

“The alternative is the most promising sectors of the Ukrainian economy: agricultural sector, energy and infrastructure. In addition, it must be remembered that business development for many years, the export of finished products and joint investment with Ukrainian entrepreneurs for an international investor provides a real opportunity to create a successful project. It is also important that every entrepreneur today has to feel needed in his own country. There will be a future, victories come every day and we should know more about these people who made it!” — Igor Liski said.

According to the speaker, the main thing that Ukrainian entrepreneurs has lack in is ambition. Any project can be improved and find the necessary investments for. The most important is to believe in the project and work tirelessly to implement it, and this means understanding the rules of the game on the international market.

The future of Ukraine through the formation of a common Plan.B – Development of the Business Environment of Ukraine 2020-2030

On July 10, a meeting of business-co-investors Business 100 took place in the Ukrainian Institute for the Future, devoted to the capabilities of a powerful analytical center in the field of modeling and shaping the agenda for further development of Ukraine.

The participants of the meeting discussed opportunities for UIM to strengthen various projects, improve interaction in the business community. The Ukrainian Institute for the Future is a joint project of representatives of Ukrainian business, politics and the public sector, which was founded in the summer of 2016. Among the key vectors of the Institute’s work are the forecasting of changes and modeling of possible scenarios for the development of topical events in Ukraine, an independent, competent assessment of various phenomena in the country’s economic, political and social life. In addition to analytics, the Institute develops practical recommendations for action and offers effective solutions to acute problems. One of the founders of the Ukrainian Institute for the Future, Igor Liski, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Effective Investments. During a meeting with businessmen, he spoke about how entrepreneurs can stimulate economic development and create a business climate in Ukraine.

“What is a future institution? This is a “think tank”, a science center of the future, where new content is born, new ideas, unique programs. The Institute’s experts conduct research that can really help us to cope with the crisis and realize its huge economic potential, “says Igor Liski. Igor Liski stressed that the main customer for the institute is the domestic business itself – people who implement projects themselves, create jobs, and pay taxes. “At the global level, we are trying to prescribe clear rules of the game and the ideas that are the basis for the state and Ukrainian business,” says Igor Liski, “Why is it just about business? First and foremost, this is the stratum of the population that wants to live and realize its plans and ambitions in Ukraine. They do not marry for three or four thousand euros to Poland. These are people who believe in our country and its inhabitants.

“By generating independent analytical information, the Ukrainian Institute for the Future creates a solid foundation on which deputies can be relied upon in drafting and voting for individual bills, for businessmen – when deciding on the development of their own enterprise. “The most important thing that we now need is the ideological engagement of people capable of acting. Ukrainian business may feel like a customer of research from unbiased professionals. Thanks to our institute, anyone interested can receive relevant information, analytics and feedback,” – adds Igor Liski.

“Zhytomyr Cardboard Factory” invited a talented schoolboy-inventor

The secrets of making paper from waste paper and the principles of technology work using large-scale industrial production demonstrated to the young inventor from Zakarpattya region Valentina Frechka at the Zhytomyr Cardboard Factory.

The technical director of the company, Alexey Kovtanyuk, showed the young man the full cycle of production and conducted an excursion to the production workshops. Valentin Frechka is a schoolboy from Transcarpathia, who invented the technology of manufacturing paper from fallen leaves.  Young man with his scientific work took part in many national and foreign contests: he won the golden prize and the Grand Prix at the International Golden Olympics Olympiad and won the Olympiad in the USA. There he chose the gold medal Genius Olympiad 2018.

“If you compare the production that I saw today with the production that I offer, then it is radically different, because the waste paper is used here. And the waste paper is ready-made cellulose. In my work there are stages of obtaining this pulp, the technological line. And directly as it is already modified in paper of different density. In general, to this project, I came about a year and a half ago “, – says the young inventor Valentin Frechko.

The cardboard plant says they are ready to support the young inventor and help him realize his scientific project.

“Valentin’s experience and aspirations are very interesting for us. We always have a place for such personnel, for professionals, for those who are looking for progressive young people. We are always open, we know that Valentine is going to organize a start-up based on his research. We want to give him a platform for further research. It will be useful to him, it may be useful to us and it will surely be of benefit to the country. Therefore, always “welcome”, – said Sergiy Rudkovsky, First Deputy General Director of Housing and Communal Services.

Forest Technology supported BUR project

Forest Technology company supported the realization of a playground for rest in Malin. By joining the central park and the main square of the city, its administrative buildings, shops, the area is currently serving as a meeting place and a rest.


The team of architects tried to determine what local people are investing into the street on which the project, with which it is symbolized, is associated. They created surveys, questioned people online and offline, viewed video from cameras. It turned out that the place has a noticeable contrast, depending on the hours of the day. In the afternoon there are parents walking with children, they come to ride on toy cars. There is a children’s library, a post office, a cafe. There are wooden huts nearby, which can be rented, for example, for entrepreneurship. In the evening, it’s not so cozy – there is access to the alcohol stall, but there are no alternative activities. There are also no shops in the street to just sit there.


The city authorities are still developing a project for the capital reconstruction of Krivenchuk Street, and BUR together with the WoodLuck Social Workshop have decided to use the street potential and change the perceptions of this pedestrian space now. We decided to put in place a creative intervention here – to create two stationary platforms, benches for sitting and microcrossing, portable mobile benches and color navigation, which will combine all elements into a single composition. Through such experiments, we want to discover how the physical changes in the environment affect consciousness, responsibility, self-organization of the public; to find the most appropriate solutions before reconstruction in order to positively influence long-term changes in the city. Will the local people put the bench in the cold and spend time reading a book or playing chess? Will the artists move furniture and, when they form mini-amphitheaters, will play their music and performances? Will they care about property that is, in essence, “protected” only by surveillance cameras? Do local entrepreneurs and masters want to open their business and fill the street with new meanings and opportunities? For example, the local non-alcoholic cafe “Caramel” plans to make a terrace and arrange evening movie shows, projecting video on the wall of the children’s library.

Of course, we needed a tree to implement the plans. And it’s cool that the Forest Technology Company, many of its employees who live in Malin, and which is part of the Holding of Effective Investments, gladly responded to the offer of partnership and provided the necessary wood materials to create this public space for the city and its inhabitants! We believe that such cooperation will benefit the entire community of the city, and Malinchans will rejoice in the new space created by volunteers from all over Ukraine and the world with the support of local business!
