A contract with a Latvian partner, test shipments to London, a nomination for a European industry award — these are the 2025 results for Ukrainian companies that entered the EU market through Enterprise Europe Network with the support of Kharkiv IT Cluster.
Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) is the world's largest support network for small and medium-sized businesses: 550+ partner organizations in 55 countries, a unified B2B platform for finding customers and partners, and expert support for entering new markets.
Kharkiv IT Cluster is the only representative of the IT sector in the Ukrainian EEN-Ukraine consortium. This means that tech companies and related businesses can access the network's tools through the cluster: create a profile on the international platform, participate in business delegations, and receive consultations on scaling and export.
What does this mean for business?
Access to the European market without years of building a network from scratch. Companies receive structured support: from preparing a profile tailored to European partners to participating in industry exhibitions and direct B2B meetings.
2025 in numbers
- 150 companies prepared profiles for international scaling and joined the EEN B2B platform.
- 50 Kharkiv IT Cluster member companies participated in 7 business delegations to Sweden, Finland, Spain, the USA, and Germany.
- 20 jobs were created by project clients with consultancy support from Kharkiv IT Cluster.
Company success stories
SITKA ZAKHID UKRAINA signed a €160,000 contract with a Latvian partner during an exhibition within the Ukraine-Ready4EU program. The company is now negotiating with clients in 7+ EU countries.
Stodola LLC received orders for test shipments of crackers to Czechia and the UK, with a potential contract for up to 100,000 units per year. The product was featured in a British food innovation magazine and nominated for an industry award in 2025.
NPV UKRTRУBOIZOL signed an agreement with URDI UKRAINSKI DOROGY after participating in the ReBuild Ukraine exhibition and received inquiries from European partners regarding the implementation of utility infrastructure solutions.
Why does this matter now?
While the war reshapes logistics and market access, Ukrainian companies are proving they are ready to partner with Europe. EEN is a tool that shortens the path from an export idea to an actual contract. And Kharkiv IT Cluster is the partner that guides businesses along that path.
