“On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of Economic Truth, Ukrainian Truth will award 100 business representatives who contribute to the development of market relations based on the principles of integrity, free competition, and open access. Applications will be accepted until March 5, 2026.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua
The participants of “UP 100. Business” are entrepreneurs who have proven by their own example that in Ukraine it is not only possible to do business without breaking the law, but also to achieve success by making a significant contribution to the development of the state.
“Ukrainian business is working, perhaps, in the most difficult conditions for many years – war, law enforcement pressure, shortage of people, power outages. And yet, in this most unfavorable environment, it continues to attract investment, create jobs, products, and also help the military. Business is about creation. And without those who create, there can be neither a successful country nor the economy of Ukraine after the war. That is why we want to celebrate and inspire these people. Their efforts are seen and appreciated”– says Sevgil Musaeva, editor-in-chief of “Ukrainian Pravda”.

Criteria for the selection of laureates: profitability, creation and maintenance of jobs, integrity, compliance with ESG standards (environment, social sphere and management). The laureates will be determined by a professional jury and the editors of “Economic Truth” in the following fields:
- IT
- Miltech
- Agro
- Industry
- Energy
- Construction
- Trade
- Finances
- Services
Representatives of small businesses that share the principles of the market economy, create and support jobs and help the Defense Forces and veterans will be separately recognized.
“If Ukrainian entrepreneurs have additional resources, they often direct them to support the Defense Forces or support those who need it. Therefore, when creating the list, we pay attention to businesses that, despite the fact that they work in extremely difficult conditions, see their role as broader than just making a profit.
During times of war, businesses often set additional goals for themselves – supporting teams, helping communities, investing in sustainability, helping the army. Our goal is to align value compasses and highlight business owners and managers whose priorities coincide with our values.”– says Volodymyr Landa, head of the methodology of the “UP 100. Business” project, head of the investment screening department of the Economic Security Council of Ukraine.
