“Diia.Business in Poltava has come a long way — from an empty building, renovation, furnishing, and team recruitment to becoming a stable organization supporting entrepreneurship in the city,”
emphasized Alona Honcharenko, Head of the Diia.Business Entrepreneur Support Center in Poltava.

Over the past three years, the Poltava Diia.Business center has achieved remarkable results:

Over UAH 24,000,000 in funding provided to entrepreneurs through center-led projects.

More than 33,000 Ukrainians visited the center and attended over 800 events — ranging from workshops and business camps to long-term educational and grant programs.

Around 10,000 inquiries were processed on topics such as business operations, legal issues, and grant opportunities.

Over 2,800 free individual consultations were provided to entrepreneurs.

The visitor satisfaction rate (CSAT) stands at 94%.

0 budget funds were used.

This year, with support from Aurora, the center launched "Trajectory" — an educational and grant program for veterans, military personnel, and their spouses. The evaluation of business plans has already been completed, and 50 finalists will receive funding as part of the initiative.

“Our future priorities include:
▫️ supporting veteran-owned businesses
▫️ fostering digitalization among local enterprises
▫️ empowering craft manufacturers,”
added Alona Honcharenko.

During the event marking the third anniversary of Diia.Business in Poltava, Aliona Zhygura, Head of CSR at Aurora Multimarket, received an official acknowledgment on behalf of the company for its contribution to the development of veteran, craft, micro, and small businesses, as well as for promoting economic freedom and enhancing the institutional capacity of the Poltava entrepreneur support center.

For Aurora, this partnership with Diia.Business in Poltava is an investment in local community development and a key part of implementing the company’s corporate social responsibility strategy.
