The Diia.Business portal has launched an investment catalog showcasing impact-driven businesses.

На портале Дія.Бізнес запустили инвестиционный каталог для импакт-бизнесов.

The catalog on the Diya.Business portal showcases companies that tackle modern challenges, from climate change to supporting vulnerable groups, as stated in the press release.

“Supporting entrepreneurs is a priority for the Ministry of Digital Transformation. As part of the national Diya.Business project, we are creating opportunities for businesses to grow and scale in collaboration with our partners. One of these opportunities is the Investment Catalog of Impact Enterprises. It brings together socially responsible businesses that leverage innovation to achieve sustainable development and address social issues, along with investors ready to support these projects. I am convinced that this approach will strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem and enable Ukrainian entrepreneurs to boost the economy and improve community life,” said Valeria Ionan, Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine for European Integration.

Impact enterprises combine financial success with positive social and environmental impact. According to the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN), the global impact investment market has already surpassed $1 trillion and continues to grow steadily. This is a global trend that is also gaining popularity in Ukraine.

“The Ukrainian model of impact entrepreneurship is unique due to its adaptability to extremely challenging conditions, where business and social impact are inseparable. These enterprises tackle critical issues—from supporting communities affected by war to developing a green economy. The Ukrainian Social Venture Fund has already supported 64 impact companies since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, and some of them are successfully scaling at the community level, demonstrating a new way of thinking focused on economic recovery. Such businesses are the foundation for the sustainable recovery of our country and create opportunities for investors who seek to combine financial returns with a positive societal impact,” emphasizes Elena Kalibaba, CEO of the Ukrainian Social Venture Fund.
