Aurora Co-Founders Taras Panasenko and Lev Zhydenko Named to UP 100. Business List

On June 17, Aurora co-founders Taras Panasenko and Lev Zhydenko were named to the UP 100. Business list, an award established by Ekonomichna Pravda to recognize private business leaders who contribute to Ukraine's economy through integrity, transparency, and fair competition.

The award was introduced to mark the 20th anniversary of Ekonomichna Pravda and honors entrepreneurs who demonstrate that it is possible to build successful, responsible businesses while creating long-term value for Ukraine.

As part of the event, Taras Panasenko also joined the panel discussion "Attracting Investment During Wartime." Together with other business leaders, the participants explored access to financing during the war, the role of large companies in driving investment, and ways to support Ukrainian manufacturers and entrepreneurs.

During the discussion, Taras shared Aurora's experience and emphasized that large, well-established companies should not only attract investment but also become a source of investment for the broader market. By supporting entrepreneurs and helping businesses scale, they can contribute to the long-term resilience and growth of Ukraine's economy.

The recognition of Aurora's co-founders and their participation in industry discussions reflects the company's commitment to sharing practical expertise and contributing to the sustainable development of Ukraine's business community.
