Ukrposhta has become the only logistics partner of the Made with bravery marketplace for the delivery of goods of Ukrainian producers abroad.

Business once again joins forces to support Ukrainian products in the international arena: EVO, Visa and Banda present a marketplace of goods made in Ukraine by Ukrainian producers. The project received information support from the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, the Office for Entrepreneurship and Export Development and the national project Diia.Business.

"The Made with Bravery marketplace is a great opportunity to show cool goods and products of Ukrainian companies to the general public. Ukraine has brave entrepreneurs and first-class brands that the whole world should know about. This platform will allow businesses to scale and find new customers. And this means profit, jobs, the opportunity to donate and keep Ukraine's economy stable. In addition, this is another opportunity for people from other countries to learn about Ukrainian and support us," comments Mykhailo Fedorov, Vice Prime Minister - Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.

Since the beginning of the war, Ukrposhta has launched a campaign to support Ukrainian exporters and, despite the war, has resumed international traffic and delivers parcels of Ukrainian producers abroad. The company delivers export shipments from the territory of Ukraine to 11 airports of Western neighboring countries and loads parcels on 10 airlines so that Ukrainian entrepreneurs who sell their goods on marketplaces can deliver shipments of Ukrainian entrepreneurs around the world. Also, at the call of Ukrposhta, the key marketplaces Wish, Joom, eBay, Etsy and Shopify cancelled subscription fees for Ukrainian sellers and introduced supportive measures.

For those domestic manufacturers who are just planning to sell abroad, Ukrposhta has resumed a series of training webinars on the features of marketplaces on the Ukrposhta portal for entrepreneurs www.e-export.ukrposhta.ua.

"Ukrposhta supported the idea of this project and offered better delivery conditions for Ukrainian producers abroad. Many domestic manufacturers have been cooperating with us for a long time and deliver their goods through Ukrposhta to all countries of the world. Our company did not stop deliveries even during the war and continues to find options to support Ukrainian exporters. In order to make more and more foreigners aware of our producers, we appealed to the postal administrations of the world to support this project in their countries and tell about it so that citizens of the world buy goods from our producers. They will buy Ukrainian, support our economy and Ukraine," said Igor Smelyansky, CEO of Ukrposhta.

Delivery times to a specific country are determined by the rules of the postal operator. More details can be found on the Ukrposhta website.

The marketplace presents items of various categories for different ages and genders: clothes, shoes, accessories, household goods. As well as food and drinks that have a long shelf life and can be delivered.

Ukrainian producers who meet certain requirements can sell their goods. These requirements are checked during registration. In particular, a seller on the marketplace can only be a business entity that has established itself in the Ukrainian market as a manufacturer/seller of high quality goods. First of all, we are talking about brands that are represented in social networks, have good photos and product descriptions. Also in priority are manufacturers of unique, authentic items. You can find out more about the terms of registration of the manufacturer, placement of goods and other aspects of joining the community of Made with bravery manufacturers at this link.

"Ukrainian manufacturers, in particular designers of clothes, shoes and jewellery, have long been recognized in the world. The most famous stars wear their products. However, creativity, originality and excellent quality of these products are still unknown to the general public. We strive to make the whole world fall in love with Ukrainian, to consolidate the belief that Ukrainian is cool. That is why we created the Made with bravery marketplace. And that is why the criteria that a marketplace seller must meet are high. Our goal is that both the product and the quality of service when buying Ukrainian pleasantly surprised a foreign buyer. And "made in Ukraine" became an integral part of his life and everyday life", - explains Mykola Paliyenko, CEO and co-founder of EVO.

The marketplace transfers 5% of the cost of each purchased product to the United24 fundraising platform. A special commission of the platform directs these funds to the current programs for the reconstruction of Ukraine. In addition, when paying with a Visa card, an additional 5% of the purchase price is also transferred to United24 to support and rebuild the state.

According to the Kyiv School of Economics, the total amount of direct damage to infrastructure reaches $114.5 billion. Therefore, support for the reconstruction of the country is very relevant, because it requires significant funds. Every purchase at Made with bravery is a brick in the "new walls" of Ukraine. This idea became the basis of the first Made with bravery communication campaign. The promotional video illustrates it.
