Optimism About Growth and the Role of Innovation
Only 34% of executives expect an improvement in the overall state of the country’s economy, yet 49% believe in the growth of their own business. Technological integration is becoming increasingly important: 52% of companies are already using artificial intelligence to automate routine tasks. At the same time, only 3% of businesses view AI as a source of real competitive advantage or profitability.
Investments and Key Conditions for Attracting Them
About half of the top managers expressed intentions to create new innovative products and services to aid in Ukraine’s recovery, while an equal number emphasize attracting foreign investments. For 82% of respondents, the key conditions for investment are the transparency of the legal system, guarantees for capital preservation, and the availability of insurance against military risks.
The study shows that Ukrainian businesses are adapting to prolonged uncertainty: strategic decisions are being made under the pressure of risks, technologies are being used cautiously, and the pace of scaling remains restrained.
Thus, businesses in Ukraine, despite challenging conditions, continue to invest in their own development, innovations, and team expansion, choosing a cautious yet confident path toward recovery and growth.
