  Medium-sized business in Ukraine: Terra incognita or "hidden" Mittelstand

  IER’s bring to your attention the new "Medium-Sized Business Survey 2023", which is made possible through the support of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation. In preparing this study, IER’s goal was to raise awareness among stakeholders in Ukraine and abroad about the state, needs and prospects of medium-sized business development in Ukraine as a key bearer of liberal values and an important driving force for pro-European reforms in Ukraine. In our opinion, one of the key needs for the development of this important sector of Ukrainian business and social class is to widely inform about medium-sized businesses in Ukraine as a reliable partner and stakeholder of pro-European reforms to accelerate Ukraine's movement towards the European Union.
