BMWK Special Initiative Ukraine – Building Business Where Lives Begin Anew
Some projects don’t just transform businesses – they transform people.

The BMWK Special Initiative Ukraine is part of the Partnering in Business with Germany program and supports Ukrainian managers in rebuilding economic perspectives – between war, displacement and new beginnings.
The goal: to build bridges between Ukrainian and German companies, fostering long-term partnerships that support economic reconstruction and prepare integration into the European market.
But behind this program are not just numbers and strategies – but stories of courage, loss and new beginnings.
Competencies for a fresh start.
Many participants had to leave their country, learn a new language, reorganize their lives. And yet: they focus on what drives them – entrepreneurship, the future, responsibility.
For several years, HBS Berlin has been an integral part of this special initiative. Our trainers guide participants through training sessions and workshops that go far beyond purely technical topics.
In addition to project management, business planning and leadership, the focus is always also on self-efficacy, intercultural communication and the question: How can you shape the future when the present is so uncertain?
In every encounter lies a piece of hope – and the realization that the economy thrives not only on markets, but on people who have the courage to start again.
What participants take away.
- Supporting the reconstruction of the Ukrainian economy through practical cooperation
- Promoting leadership skills, personal responsibility and international networking
- Supporting managers in their new beginning – between personal hardship and professional perspective
- Building sustainable relationships between Ukrainian and German companies
- Contributing to the economic and social stabilization of Europe
Cooperation that transcends borders.
More than trade – a sign of solidarity.
But behind this program are not just numbers and strategies – but stories of courage, loss and new beginnings.

Economic cooperation as a promise for the future.
The Special Initiative Ukraine shows that economic cooperation is far more than trade – it is a sign of solidarity, trust and the future. And HBS Berlin is proud to be part of this journey with heart, conviction and expertise.
