"New start - new opportunities": how the first big meeting of relocated businesses from Luhansk region in Transcarpathia took place

🌲💼This weekend, September 4–6, the Center for Rehabilitation and Social Cohesion of the Siverskodonetsk Community at "Lisova Dach" turned into a real epicenter of business synergy.

The roundtable discussion dedicated to Entrepreneur's Day brought together those who, despite all the challenges, found the strength to recover and start over.

Three dozen entrepreneurs gathered together. These are entrepreneurs from Siverskodonetsk, who were also joined by colleagues from Lysychansk and other communities of Luhansk region.

The three-day program was as packed as possible and passed in one breath. Profile sessions, discussion panels and interactive discussions. Participants discussed the challenges of relocation, shared their experience of adapting to new places, attracting grant funding and building cooperation with the authorities. Each session became a lively dialogue, where cases and anti-crisis solutions were developed.

Entrepreneurs also presented their own products: from PE "Khimpostachalnik", delicacies from "Dynasty Ryasnykh" and from Oleg Nevenitsa. Special thanks to Valentina Agafonova, who treated the guests to homemade sweets.

The most important magic happened outside the official program. Evening conversations, walks in the Forest Cottage and coffee breaks in the fresh air... all this time, fellow countrymen were happy for each other and shared memories of Sever and Luhansk region.

This event gave all of us what we sometimes need so much — a second wind, a concentration of energy, ideas, and unity.

Thank you to everyone who became a part of this event! We are convinced that this "New Start" will be the beginning of productive projects, and Lisova Dacha will gather us in such a circle more than once.
