601 companies that participated in the relocation program have completed relocation from areas where hostilities continue. 390 of them have already resumed work on new sites in the western regions of Ukraine.
Another 87 companies are at various stages of transportation. The equipment is moved by Ukrzaliznytsia, Ukrposhta facilities, or own resources (with compensation). Soon another 151 companies will move, which are currently on the routes or drawing up the necessary documents.
Transcarpathia, Lviv, and Chernivtsi remain the most popular areas for relocation of enterprises. The business is also finding new places to locate its facilities in Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk, Vinnytsia, and other regions.
âLocal authorities help to find premises for work, to provide connections to networks. They also help to find housing for employees and establish logistics routes. Cooperation between the state and business does not end after the move; entrepreneurs will continue to help - with adaptation, recruitment, logistics routes and search for new markets, including abroad,"- said Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine for Digital Development, Digital Transformation Igor Dyadyura.
The relocation program helps protect the industrial capacity of domestic enterprises of all forms of ownership. Moving businesses to safer regions creates new economic development opportunities and allow businesses to operate in times of war.
