The first meetings of the working group of the Economic Union of Communities in Chernihiv Oblast and businesses took place in Men on August 31, 2023. The official part, with the participation of Men’s Mayor Gennadiy Pryvakov, the Director of the Department of Economic Development of Chernihiv Oblast Administration, Oleksandra Khomyk, and the Director of the Regional Development Agency of Chernihiv Oblast, Maria Rudenko, transitioned into lively discussions with the President of the World Trade Center Kyiv and EoT Global Inc., Henry Sternberg. These discussions are the breeding ground for new ideas and solutions to complex issues. We eagerly anticipate further collaboration with these active communities, who, despite the challenges of war, mined territories, and a long list of difficulties, find the time, energy, and inspiration to move forward, create new projects, and work with businesses to promote the economic development of the entire subregion.
