У світі справедливо поширена думка, що основна грошова маса та доступ до неї знаходяться в США. Це спричиняє хвилі виходу на американський ринок шляхом здійснення першого кроку (або двох) — реєстрації компанії в штаті Делавер (можливо, ще й інвестиції по дорозі знайдуться) та найму наглядової ради/радників з метою розвитку зв'язків.

Цей шлях виглядає найбюджетнішим, але насправді, коштовнішим ніж шлях стратегічної підготовки: ви сплачуєте податки та податковим консультантам, у вас практично відсутні важелі впливу та мотивації членів ради (які обіймають чимало аналогічних посад одночасно), окрім того без місцевого керівника ви не можете бути працевлаштовані та отримувати зарплату у власній компанії. Інші нюанси, я радо розповім в окремій розмові.

Тому, я вирішила допомогти тим, хто розглядає вихід на ринок, оглядом потенційних ресурсів розвитку в США.

Розглянуті наступні напрями:

1) NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) — defense та dual-use

Defense Appropriations — де з'являються фактичні кошти для подальшого розподілу та виконання

2) State–Foreign Operations Appropriations — економіка та відновлення

3) DFC — інвестиційні інструменти (не грант)

4) U.S.–Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund (URIF) — прямий двосторонній трек

5) Energy and Water Appropriations — енергетика, мережі, R&D

Agriculture Appropriations і Farm Bill — агро та продовольчі системи

6) Commerce–Justice–Science Appropriations та CHIPS and Science — deep tech і виробництво

7) Infrastructure budgets — транспорт, вода, житло та громади

Якщо буде зацікавленість, проведемо вебінари за темами. Приватні консультації також доступні.

Throughout the history of litigation and conflicts with the government, this is the first case where the company initiated to stop any relationship with the government. Where would it lead and how far would you go under the circumstances if your business was under such pressure?... How far can we get by compromising, in the long run?

I was absolutely delighted to attend another high-quality U.S.-Ukraine Business Council (USUBC) event, dedicated to building partnerships and investing in Ukraine.

I've learned about new reliable partnerships and how to find them. And I was especially thrilled to learn about new directions of the U.S. government in the defense sector, which I could bring to my dear clients.

Rome was not built in one day, but Ukraine was also not taken in 3 days... Ukraine I know, has incredibly smart, kind people with a great sense of humor. People you look forward to spending time with and sharing a great cup of coffee.

The U.S. I know, has incredibly entrepreneurial, witty, and adventurous people who are open to exploring and daring to share and try.

All that memory came back to me yesterday during the event.

Looking forward to new enduring partnerships, strengthening existing ones, and more incredible events!

Thank you for all the work and love you put into this Irina Paliashvili, Nadiia Khomaziuk, Iryna Chaika, Tanya Shea, Alex Slusarenko and much more, I am sure!
