The government has established an Interdepartmental Working Group to review proposals aimed at resolving problematic issues in the development of micro and small entrepreneurship and self-employment.
This decision was made at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on July 8, 2026, as reported by the press service of the Ministry of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture.
The group will collect specific suggestions from entrepreneurs, business associations, communities, experts, and authorities, and transform them into solutions. Its work will focus on issues that entrepreneurs encounter daily: launching and growing their own businesses, restoring or scaling operations, regulatory hurdles, administrative and permitting procedures, access to state support programs, and digital services.
“The group’s objective is to simplify the conditions for doing business, reduce regulatory pressure, and digitize the interaction between the state and businesses. We will gather proposals directly from entrepreneurs – those who best understand what needs to change,” stated Oleksandr Tsybort, Deputy Head of the Interdepartmental Working Group and Deputy Minister of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture for Digital Development, Digital Transformations, and Digitalization.
The “Puls” platform will serve as one source of proposals for the group. Business applications submitted through it will be forwarded for consideration by the Interdepartmental Working Group, thereby providing entrepreneurs’ feedback with a direct route to government-level decisions. This enhances both tools: the group addresses real business needs, and “Puls” functions as a continuous channel through which concerns lead to tangible changes, as explained by the ministry.
The group will be headed by the Minister of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture of Ukraine. Its members will include the Head of the State Regulatory Service, representatives from the Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers and the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Economic Development, members of parliament, the Business Ombudsman, as well as representatives from local self-government, business associations, research institutions, and the expert community. This composition will enable a comprehensive examination of entrepreneurs’ challenges, taking into account the perspectives of all parties involved.
