We have all seen the images of women and children being forced to leave Ukraine because of the brutal invasion and unprovoked war started by Russia five weeks ago. It is hard to imagine having your home destroyed and needing to leave the country without knowing what the future might hold. Still, we have seen that the Ukraine people are resilient and most certainly entrepreneurial. 

We are learning from many Ukrainians that what is often needed is assistance in getting new contracts for work that can be done remotely or for loan capital to begin a business that in most cases is with a local partner. These Ukrainian refugees are creating local economic opportunities. Within Ukraine and even outside of the country there is still the need for emergency relief. Impact Bridges Group is still very much involved in providing emergency relief in the area of Lviv, but we are also working with entrepreneurial Ukrainians and others who are finding innovative means to improve their lives, as well as others.  

Impact Bridges Group is working with partners to build a marketplace platform that will bring together Ukrainian entrepreneurs who are in need of contracts, as well as, business owners that require capital investment.  The platform will also host investors that are interested in appraised business investment opportunities that have a significant social and economic impact.  In addition, the platform will include corporates with contract opportunities.
