The Investment Catalog of Impact Enterprises has been released on the Diia.Business portal, created with the participation of Greencubator and initiated by The Possible alliance of organizations.
This catalog is part of the global trend of impact investing and brings together businesses that are making the world a better place through innovation and sustainable development. The catalog features around 30 enterprises, 12 of which are green businesses, while the others are social and community-driven businesses working across various sectors, from inclusion to education. It may be of interest to:
- Investors looking for new opportunities to fund socially responsible and sustainable businesses operating in the areas of environmental, social, or innovative development. Specifically, these could be investors keen on supporting Ukrainian businesses capable of contributing to the recovery of the economy and the development of a sustainable society.
- Micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises with a social or environmental focus, aiming to scale their operations. The catalog provides them with access to investments, support from institutions dealing with social innovation development, and practical examples of successful businesses that have already attracted investments.

About impact enterprises in Ukraine
Impact enterprises are businesses that combine profitability with social and environmental impact. According to the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN), the global market for impact investing exceeds $1 trillion and continues to grow. It is not only an economic opportunity but also a way to foster sustainable development and address global challenges. In Ukraine, such businesses are gaining popularity as they are not only profitable but also contribute to the country’s recovery and post-war development.
The catalog, created by The Possible Alliance in collaboration with partners such as the Ukrainian Social Venture Fund (USVF), Greencubator, Promprylad, and SILab Ukraine, helps its participants gain visibility among investors interested in sustainable development and supporting innovation.
This catalog demonstrates that even amid war, Ukraine is offering innovative solutions that address urgent problems and create new opportunities for business.
