Head of the Development Department, LLC “Khladoprom”
“For many years we have been members of the Kharkiv Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and our cooperation is always not only useful, but also pleasant. When providing assistance in emerging issues, accompanying the activities of companies, consulting, as well as conducting training events, the team of the Kharkiv Chamber of Commerce and Industry disposes to themselves by solving all issues not only professionally, but also with smile and desire to help.
Thank you very much for the fruitful cooperation during all these years!!”
Zh. V. Vakulina,
Director of Limited Liability Company “Techno-Service UA”
We have been cooperating with the Kharkiv CCI for several years. We asked to help organize the presentation of our products on the basis of the Kharkov Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The presentation was successful, we were satisfied, new contacts with potential consumers of the products were established. I hope that in the future we will closely cooperate with the Chamber. We have new developments, the implementation of which will require the use of the services provided by the Kharkiv CCI.
V. S. Dombrovskyi
Chairperson of the Board of PJSC “Confectionery factory “Kharkivchanka”
“We, production workers, are constantly become convinced that, at present, foreign economic activity is generally impossible without the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. How can you do without certificates, without the decision on the implementation of those carnets that allow conducting exhibition activities around the world? With performing each of deliveries of equipment under foreign economic contracts, of which we have quite a lot, we invite the Chamber’s experts to evaluate it, and this eliminates possible problem situations in the future. Effective consulting assistance, assistance in organizing meetings with partners, search for partners and other services provided by the Chamber — all this really allows any enterprise (from small one to super-large one) to stay afloat.”
A. N. Pirogov
Deputy Head of the Department for Commerce and Sales and Foreign Economic Activity of State Enterprise “Kharkov Machine-Building Plant “FED”
“The FED plant has been working with the Kharkiv Chamber of Commerce and Industry for many years, and, during this time, we have developed good relations. All our applications for obtaining certificates of origin, translation of documents from foreign languages, legal advice are resolved by the Chamber’s expert positively and promptly.”
А. А. Litkevich
Deputy General Director of PJSC “Constar”
“The Kharkiv CCI functions normally, it is a necessary structure, the activities of which are in great demand. In fact, we have no complaints about its work. The technical side of the services is very well developed. We are pleased with our joint partnership. Considering that the Kharkiv region is an industrial region, we all need to come to an understanding of a simple truth: our success is not in the division of land, but in production, in export. And here one cannot do without exhibitions, without presentations of their products abroad and in other regions. Therefore, we hope for assistance of the Chamber in terms of our future participation in trade missions, foreign exhibitions. Centralized solution of organizational issues by its specialists — accommodation of participants, provision of exhibition space, etc. — increases the status of such trips, makes business trips more efficient and less costly.”
Oleksandr Kalnitskyi
Head of Limited Liability Company “Confectionery Factory “ACK”
“I would like to thank the team of the Kharkiv Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the systematic implementation of various educational programs, both with the support of the EBRD and using their own resources. After attending a number of events, LLC Confectionery Factory “ACK” (ack.ua) has significantly improved the efficiency of its work in the field of management accounting and operational activities. Employees of the KhCCI enthusiastically involve entrepreneurs and managers in training seminars. I would also like to note the high, modern level of events. Keep up the good work!!!”
Elena Chagovets
Оwner of WOW® Grooming Studio
«At the beginning of Russia's full-scale aggression and constant attacks on Kharkiv, the studio had to close. However, in the summer of 2023, the salon resumed its work and even received the QUALITY STANDARD award in the Best Quality Goods and Services of the Year competition.
Unfortunately, the studio is currently forced to take a break again, as Kharkiv residents are again constantly affected by air raids. And due to the military realities, the salon has become unprofitable.
So I decided to take part in the Business Resilience initiative and get professional advice from experts on how to revive my business.
To do this, I turned to the Kharkiv Chamber of Commerce and Industry to find out how to implement my business ideas and scale them up, how to transform a business that has great potential but is in deep crisis due to the war.
Olena Vasylieva, an expert at the Kharkiv CCI, advised me on how to create a new business model, assess and mitigate risks at each stage of the business process, develop critical business functions, increase the company's sustainability and leadership skills, and motivate staff. She also provided detailed information on the grant support available for business in Ukraine today, how to find it and prepare a grant application.
I was impressed by the way Olena Vasilieva got involved in my business project and gave me specific and effective advice, despite the fact that the grooming business has its own specifics.
I am pleased to note that Olena's advice was not only informative, but also expedient and clear. As a result of the consultations, a business model for the WOW® Grooming Studio has already been created, a SWOT analysis and business risk assessment have been carried out.After gaining new knowledge, a strategy for the future was developed. I am very grateful to Olena Vasylieva, the Kharkiv CCI, and the project for the incredibly useful consultations and webinars - this is a strong support for Kharkiv small businesses!»
