It would seem why it is a dream during the war, when everything should be subordinated to the issue of the front and victory?
Research on the Center for Social Changes and Behavioral Economics and Advanter Group shows that low birth rates (fertility levels are already below 0.8), the reluctance of talented Ukrainians to return to Ukraine, and instead the desire of young people (83%) to leave Ukraine have common preconditions.
And not military risks and other fears and not the economic situation are the root causes. The root cause – Root Cause is a lack of a sense of bright prospects. Dispatch, disappointment, uncertainty, decline – not development, innovation, breakthrough, growth, prosperity, wealth, opportunities – are a description of feelings about the future of Ukraine.
Therefore, instead of talking about “pink pony” and abuse of inventors, futurologists and visionaries, it is worth raising the issue of Ukrainian vision to the highest level-both in the country and in society and business environment. Without understanding the future and a clear path to it, then you can surprise that it is, this future, again something.
Without a clear vision and understanding of the future, there is nothing to hope, there is no landmark where to go. The 33 years of “desert wandering” led to the fact that our competing neighbors for investments, talents, innovations and markets have flew from us by the main indicators of economic development.
So, in short, Ukraine should become the most attractive country in the world for the birth of children, realization of any ideas: starting business, investing, growth of talents, creative ideas. Ukraine is a global country of opportunity, with a human -centric state and responsible citizens.
If we choose such a vision for ourselves, if we consider Ukraine and implement this positioning, then we can not lose our future victory. And to win in the existential war – a fierce competitive war between states in the world for talents, investments, markets, meanings.
And we will get a country of bold experiments. A country where, for example, virtual assets are allowed and legalized. A country where innovations are implemented with the health of its citizens, which first adapts new modern medical technologies of happy active longevity.
A country where the maximum is possible until we are not in the European Union. Because European integration is only effective for prepared. And we are not prepared for her. We need to undergo a period of total deregulation and total freedom before we are ready for the restrictions that the European Union will impose on us.
We must first implement an economic breakthrough – in fact, what they did when modernizing the country of Old Europe. Freedoms have become a prerequisite for rapid growth. So, as for me, it should be the basic factor in the assessment of reforms: in social, economic, legal, international, security.
If the new bill, the new policy, the decision of local authorities creates opportunities, adds attractiveness – you can dive into details. If, on the contrary, he drives into “shadow”, adds artificial restrictions, makes one spend more time on unproductive formalism – in whose interests it is the braking of the Ukrainian breakthrough?
Everything that contradicts the ideas of cardinal growth – active age, well -being, export, invention, etc. – must be cleaned.
We must become attractive not only for the Ukrainians who have left, but also for talents from all over the world-for skilled workers, for investors from different flags and regions. And, yes, we really have to realize the metaphor of a large intersection that characterized Trypillya – Russia – Ukraine – thousands of years.
I recently conducted a stratification with the mayor of Zhovkva and a wonderful team of Grand Strategy UA and was amazed: on one piece of land, in a small town there is the largest synagogue in Eastern Europe, and the Jesuitsky Church, and the Orthodox Church, and another Catholic.
And this is not so much about churches, but about the unity of peoples, cultures, models of thinking. In every city of Ukraine there are stories such as in Zhovkva, from which Moscow was burned several times, the city of Bohdan Khmelnytsky and Yana Sobieski.
So, all we have with culture, with religion, with innovativeness, with the ability to simultaneously be a raw material country and a country of digital transformation. We can and should be surprised for ourselves with every step. We have to turn everything – both complexity and opportunities into a strong position.
Tens of thousands of students from all over the world will return to Ukrainian Lugansk, where they will feel safe and have good opportunities for learning, cultural and public integration and earnings.
The first thing we, as citizens, statesmen, entrepreneurs, creators should be realized – is that the lack of a sense of bright prospects of Ukraine and its citizens at the state level is the cause of many of our problems of mental health, with departure, with departure, with departure fertility, etc.
An entrepreneur who sees and sells his own vision for his business creates new brands, launches new business models, creates new jobs. This is salvation for Ukraine. So now the best time to comprehend new business models. Introduction of artificial intelligence and alternative energy sources.
It’s time to stop looking at the Ukrainian market as a targeted Ukrainian business. The market should be regarded as global. I think that the slogan of Ukrainian entrepreneurs should be growing. The larger business scale is more opportunities for the state. More profitability of business is more opportunity to help the Armed Forces. We need to become stronger, to become ambassadors of innovative, growing, adaptive Ukraine – the country of opportunities – in the world.
Ukrainian entrepreneurs need to realize that we have a mission to embody – together with real statesmen – the vision of Ukraine, as well as the total of all our own visions, which we implement in all sectors of the Ukrainian and now the European economy.
