Tailored e-commerce coaching: Applications open for Ukrainian firms

21 July 2023

The International Trade Centre (ITC) and EU4Digital Facility are partnering to provide e-commerce training to an additional 11 Ukrainian companies.

Since the beginning of the conflict, 6.9 million in-country Ukrainians have been displaced, indicating the need to find new income and jobs. The Ministry of Economy of Ukraine has estimated that the economy downsized to 30% of pre-conflict levels - making digital work and online marketplaces provide the necessary relief for the Ukrainian population, building the national economy’s resilience.

The training is part of ITC’s Japan-funded project, which assists internally displaced populations and businesses in digital skills and e-commerce.

The trainings will be delivered through eCommerce consultations centre of EU4Digital that has already supported Ukrainian firms in reaching EU market places this year.

Ukrainian firms based in Ukraine can apply for the trainings here.

The selected companies will receive coaching on best practices and five hours of private consultations to create opportunities of entering EU-based marketplaces, set between August and December 2023.
