Oksana Khymych:
If I could bring one thing from the Netherlands to help rebuild Ukraine, it would be its strong culture of entrepreneurship and innovation-driven cooperation.
While in the Netherlands, I saw how well-structured entrepreneurial ecosystems – supported by universities, incubators, and government initiatives – can drive sustainable economic growth. Inspired by this model, I am dedicated to exploring how entrepreneurship, particularly in creative and crisis-affected sectors, can contribute to Ukraine’s economic resilience and recovery.
To advance this mission, I am eager to collaborate with researchers, policymakers, and organizations that share the vision of a strong, innovation-led post-war economy in Ukraine.
Dear Oksana, many thanks for participating in our project!
