”I am thrilled to share with you that after months of coordination and negotiation, the first-ever Ukrainian delegation is heading to Switzerland! 🇺🇦🇨🇭 This collaboration between Ukraine and Switzerland is set to benefit both parties, and I couldn’t be more proud to have been a part of making it happen”, – Uliana Pereskotska, Ukrainian-Swiss Business Association Board Member and Head of Startup and Innovation Committee.

From the very start, I was driven by my passion for startups and innovation, and now it’s a dream come true to see it unfold. I want to express my deepest gratitude to all the Swiss and Ukrainian stakeholders who have actively contributed to this incredible endeavor.

One of the standout moments for me will be visiting the Ukrainian stand at Swiss Startup Nights. It holds a special significance because of the pivotal role I played in organizing this historic participation. Through the collaborative efforts of Ukrainian-Swiss Business Association, the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Startup Fund, Startup Nights, and KUNA Pay, we have handpicked eight innovative Ukrainian startups to represent our nation at this prestigious event.

But what truly makes this occasion remarkable is the resilience and determination of these startups. Many of them come from regions that have faced the challenges of war and adversity, yet they continue to operate and thrive. By visiting the Ukrainian stand, you’ll witness firsthand the entrepreneurial excellence of Ukraine and show support for the hard work, dedication, and partnership efforts of USBA and its collaborators.

This participation not only marks a milestone in the growing business relations between Ukraine and Switzerland, but it also showcases the immense potential for fruitful collaborations in the future“.
