On October 13, 2026, the leading business media outlet "Pershyi Biznesovyi BIZ" will host a major event for the Ukrainian entrepreneurial community — a business brunch titled "Business Energy: Resilience and Development". The event aims to bring together company owners, CEOs, investors, top managers, and leading market experts to find effective solutions amid prolonged economic and geopolitical uncertainty. The venue has been traditionally chosen as an atmospheric and prestigious location — the capital's Veranda on the River restaurant, situated on the picturesque banks of the Dnieper. The organizers note that the number of seats for the brunch is strictly limited, making prior registration a mandatory condition for participation.
Main Idea and Key Program Highlights
The central concept of the upcoming meeting is the multifaceted energy that drives Ukrainian business today: the internal energy of people and leadership, financial capital, modern technologies, strategic partnerships, high corporate responsibility, and strong managerial decisions. The participants will focus on pressing challenges that domestic companies face daily. The event's program covers a wide range of topics: from labor market transformation and corporate culture to ESG sustainable development, attracting investment, technological independence, legal security, and crisis communications.
People, Capital, and Technology: Key Panels
One of the brunch's specialized sessions will be dedicated to people and the evolution of the labor market. Kateryna Tiuria, HRD of Veranda/Fenix restaurants, will deliver a presentation titled "PEOPLE: The Power of the Team. People, Culture, and Technology in the New Reality," detailing business adaptation to change. An important part of the program will be a panel discussion on corporate social responsibility moderated by Daria Sukhenko, co-founder and creative director of Trembita PR Agency, as well as a financial panel led by Taras Kozak, president of the UNIVER investment group. Experts will discuss investment strategies amid inflation and war risks, comparing domestic government bonds (OVGZ), banking products, real estate, and venture investments.
Technological Sovereignty and Legal Protection of Business
Significant attention at the event will be paid to technological competitiveness factors. Oleksandr Vlasishen, co-founder and CEO of GenCod Diagnostic, will raise the topic of technological independence as a strategic advantage, while Volodymyr Novikov, CPO of Medoc TTN, will discuss process automation using Linkos Group solutions. Furthermore, participants will address the acute issue of business legal security. A panel discussion moderated by attorney Nadiia Shuliak will touch upon legislative changes, criminal law risks, countering unlawful inspections, and the personal liability of company executives in the face of crises.
