The Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) is making a difference for Ukrainian small and medium-sized businesses affected by war through their volunteer initiative, which offers free business consulting services. The RE: empower, RE: locate, and RE: start programs help entrepreneurs analyze their opportunities, prioritize actions, and find new markets for international trade and export. As an MBA student, I have the privilege of joining the initiative as an observer and witnessing firsthand how KSE experts are making a significant impact. The initiative is not only helping Ukrainian businesses but also promoting local economic development and supporting the government's efforts towards economic recovery.
