“The FSC standard enhances the competitiveness of our products in the markets and confirms our commitment to the environment,” – the company notes. – This certification ensures environmental, social and economic benefits for all stakeholders, especially for the population of the regions of our activity. This is the best way to declare the transparency of our business and its desire to preserve nature. Those who certify their production and those who buy certified products do a common thing – they contribute to better forest management and preservation of them in the interests of future generations.»

Ukrainian Group of Companies Effective Investments and Dutch Mada Participations B.V. announced the construction of the FeedNova production facility for the production of high-protein feed additives and animal fats in the city of Busk (Lviv region). The plant is worth $ 20 million.
The project will be the first in Ukraine to process raw materials from external suppliers. The new complex will include four production lines that will process more than 220 tons of raw materials per day. The total capacity of the plant will allow to produce about 90 tons of finished products per day. The plant design is designed to meet the requirements of international certification in accordance with ISO 22000 and HACCP standards. This will allow the company to export products worldwide.
“The problem of animal by-products processing is urgent for the whole country, especially given the active development of the industry. Our plant will be a powerful solution to this problem. Sustainable development of the region’s livestock and food industry is simply not possible without a developed by-waste treatment infrastructure. That is why we plan to set up at least two more companies in the central part of the country and in the south,” – said Igor Liski, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Effective Investments Group.
It is also important that production will be concerned with the processing of animal by-products, not with the disposal of waste. In addition, the introduction of European quality standards at all stages of the enterprise will allow to change outdated practices of waste management of animal origin.
“It should be emphasized that thanks to such investments, jobs with decent pay are created on the one hand, and on the other – it stimulates the development of adaptability in industry. Consequently, value chain efficiency increases. In particular, the launch of this plant is crucial for the development of the country’s livestock industry,” – said Serhiy Nikolaychuk, Deputy Minister of Economic Development, Trade and Agriculture of Ukraine.
Mykola Moroz, Director General of the Directorate for Food Safety and Quality, also stressed the importance of investor arrival for the modernization of a promising production sector. He noted that quality waste treatment should be an integral part of the livestock and food industries.
The plant will be equipped with a complete set of state-of-the-art process equipment for filtration of all types of emissions, which will minimize the environmental impact of production.
“We, in management, have focused not only on attracting investments, but also on the support of investors and the project. These include companies and teams that can create jobs and add budget. For me, the ideas that the project carries and the purpose of creating it are personally important to me. I am convinced that FeedNova will improve all the livestock infrastructure in our and related areas,” – said Roman Matis, Head of Investment Policy, Lviv Regional State Administration.
As an export-oriented company, FeedNova will become the region’s new budgetary center. The plant will create more than 80 jobs and introduce a corporate responsibility program. The company is open to dialogue with the Busk community as well as with industry representatives.

The Strategic Session “A New Era of Sustainable Development in RES and EE in Ukraine – Horizon 2025” was about energy efficiency. The greatest challenge of today is the rational use of energy resources. That is why the specialists of the energy direction of Ukraine Energy company also joined the event.
Obviously, investing in the country’s energy is one of the significant needs of today. However, we also have many specific Ukrainian risks, which are often exaggerated. Much attention was paid to green tariffs and renewables. Experts also point out that the industry has even more significant challenges.
Christina Yan, a leading specialist at Ukraine Energy, said: “The issue of Ukrenergo certification as an independent transmission system operator was particularly important to us. At present, the issue remains unresolved. Attraction of investments, introduction of modern technologies can cause significant positive changes in the industry and economy of the country. But first of all, we all need to take conscious steps to improve the mechanisms of our interaction. “

“Effective investments” was acquired by the largest aggregator of private medical institutions in the country from the Chernovetskyi Investment Group (CIG). The size of the transaction was not disclosed, but both parties note that they are satisfied with the agreement reached.
Igor Liski Head of the Board of directors spoke about the reasons for acquiring the project by the “Effective investments” group of companies.
“Efficiency in all solutions is our main value. We invest in a lot of successful projects and modernize entire industries. For the whole team and for me personally it is very important to choose projects that are capable to create. Each of our projects creates an ecosystem, enables each employee and clients to develop, expands the capabilities of Ukraine as a whole. DOC.UA is an investment in improving the quality of medical care in our country. This is also a significant step for the IT sector, in the success of which I am sure. We have acquired not only the industry leader in the Ukrainian market, we have invested in a unique team of specialists. DOC.UA will scale, its technology and team are able to improve and amaze the whole world,” shared Igor Liski.
In 2014, Chernovetskyi Investment Group (CIG) invested in DOC.UA, an online doctor search and appointment service. DOC.UA has become the largest player in the Ukrainian market in five years.
Stepan Chernovetsky, the founder of CIG and a shareholder in DOC.UA, notes: “It was not just a venture deal: we created a successful project and developed it to be the market leader. I believe that CIG and DOC.UA is one of the most brilliant examples of partnerships in business.” Volodymyr Krivko, managing partner of CIG and mentor at DOC.UA, details: “We didn’t just invest in the company that the entrepreneur created, and we created this company together: we carried out a market analysis, wrote a strategic development concept, recruited a team. In fact, DOC.UA has passed the business incubation on the CIG platform. In this project, we performed the role of not just an investor, but a full-fledged partner who provided legal support, created the product and developed the business. This is a very rare phenomenon not only in the Ukrainian market, but also in world practice.”
Sergey Kazantsev, the founder and CEO of DOC.UA, who began developing this area in 2013, emphasizes the uniqueness of the project: “The DOC.UA project has grown significantly over the past five years. Undoubtedly, now we are waiting for big calls. However, the new shareholder fully supports our company’s development strategy. In addition, the desire to scale and the values shared with the shareholder will allow the company to conquer new heights. ”
CIG received a successful exit from investments, and the Effective Investments group of companies got a productive leader of the Ukrainian market in doctors online search.
DOC.UA is an online doctor search service launched in 2014. Today DOC.UA unites more than 1,300 clinics and 7,000 doctors in 24 cities of Ukraine. The service solves problem of choosing the right specialist and quick appointment. DOC.UA is absolutely free for patients, and has no hidden charges or commissions. Users of the aggregator have the opportunity to choose a clinic or a doctor, starting from real patient reviews, prices for services, mode of operation or location of the medical center. For the convenience of patients, in March 2019, the opportunity to register with a doctor online was launched. Read more: http://doc.ua/
