A UAFEST PROJECT

UAFest.Business

A directory and forum for Ukrainian entrepreneurs and business owners across the region.

What It Is

From the Business Network to a year-round bridge

UAFest.Business is a directory and forum for Ukrainian entrepreneurs and business owners across the region. It's the natural next step from the Business Network — the festival zone that's already a space for entrepreneurs and professionals to connect and grow together.

The audience is broad on purpose: Ukrainian entrepreneurs and freelancers building something new in Canada, established businesses that already show up as vendors or sponsors, and Canadian organizations and professionals who want a genuine connection into the Ukrainian community rather than a one-off booth. One idea being explored for the long term is a simple online directory of Ukrainian-owned and Ukrainian-connected businesses across the region — searchable by city and industry — so the connections made at the festival don't end when the market tents come down.

Right now it's a name and a direction — the programs are still being built, on the same volunteer spirit as the festival itself. If you'd like to help shape what it becomes, get in touch below.

Register your business

One form, two things. It signs you up for the business networking speed-dating at the festival — a structured round of short, one-on-one introductions with other entrepreneurs and business owners. We confirm the format and timing with you directly.

It also collects your business profile — what you do, where you work, your logo — so we have it on hand as UAFest.Business takes shape. The profile part is optional, and nothing gets published without your say-so.
