EVO, a Ukrainian product IT company, launched Made with bravery – an official electronic marketplace of products made in Ukraine, – with the support of payments global leader Visa, communications agency Banda, and informational assistance from the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
Its goal is to unite Ukrainian entrepreneurs into a community, promote Ukrainian products abroad and facilitate the export of Ukrainian goods, helping develop Ukrainian business and rebuild Ukraine. Ukrposhta provides the delivery of the goods.
Businesses are again joining efforts to support Ukrainian products in the international arena: EVO, Visa, and Banda have presented a marketplace of goods made in Ukraine by Ukrainian producers. The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Entrepreneurship and Export Promotion Office and national project Diia.Business informationally support the initiative. Ukrposhta, the national postal operator, is the logistics partner of the project, ensuring deliveries abroad.
The marketplace features items of different categories for different ages and genders: clothes, footwear, accessories, household goods, as well as food and beverages that have a long shelf life and can be delivered.
Ukrainian manufacturers that meet specific criteria can sell their goods at the marketplace. These criteria are verified during registration. In particular, a merchant at the marketplace must be a business entity that has proven to be a producer/merchant of high-quality goods in the Ukrainian market. First of all, it is about brands that are presented in social networks, provide good photos and a description of the product. Authors of unique authentic products are also a priority.
The marketplace transfers 5% of the price of each purchased item to United24, the fundraising platform initiated by the President of Ukraine. A special platform commission directs these funds to the relevant programs for rebuilding Ukraine. Furthermore, an additional 5% is transferred to United24 to support and rebuild the country if the payment is made with a Visa card.
