We continue talking about the numbers — because numbers matter.

Ukrainian-founded businesses in the United States generate $55–58 billion in annual revenue, create around 300,000 jobs, and contribute $8–9 billion in taxes every year.

Between 2022 and 2025 alone, Ukrainian businesses paid approximately $32–36 billion in taxes to the U.S. budget.

Today, there are 45,000+ Ukrainian-founded companies across the U.S. — from family-owned restaurants and transportation companies to billion-dollar tech unicorns.

These numbers are being voiced today at the International Ballroom in Washington, DC — and they are voiced with pride.

The numbers are impressive, but we are not stopping here.

Discussion of the first national survey of Ukrainian-founded businesses in the United States 🇺🇦🇺🇸

This important discussion centers on the first-ever national survey of Ukrainian-founded businesses in the United States — and on the leaders helping turn data into real economic action.

During the discussion, Eva Sigaev, President of the Ukrainian American Chamber of Commerce and Industry (UACCI), and Alexander Romanishyn, leader at ISE Group, examined the findings of the survey and what they reveal about the Ukrainian business community’s evolving role in the U.S. economy and in Ukraine’s future.

Entrepreneurs who arrived 30, 20, 10, 5, or just 2 years ago shared a common story: building businesses from scratch, creating jobs, contributing to local economies, and maintaining deep ties to Ukraine.

Key challenges discussed
Access to capital, regulatory complexity, workforce shortages, language barriers, and the long-term impact of war on planning and investment decisions.

Opportunities identified
Ukrainian-founded businesses demonstrate exceptional resilience, strong growth potential, and sectoral diversity — from manufacturing and construction to IT, logistics, healthcare, and agriculture.

A strategic and growing role
Eva Sigaev emphasized the importance of recognizing Ukrainian-founded companies as a serious economic constituency that deserves a seat at the policy table.
Alexander Romanishyn highlighted how data-driven research can guide investment, partnerships, and scalable solutions that benefit both the United States and Ukraine.

This discussion reinforced one key message:
Ukrainian-founded businesses are no longer operating on the margins — they are shaping markets, strengthening bilateral economic ties, and becoming a driving force in Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction.

From evidence to action, this conversation marked a step toward smarter policies, stronger collaboration, and long-term economic impact.

Strong women are not born — they are created by the storms they survive.

During Ukrainian Week in Washington, D.C., Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United States, Olga Stefanishyna, represents all the women and children who have endured the hardest period of their lives and who continue to persevere through immense pain, challenges, and loss.

They keep going, carrying the truth to the world about what Russia has done — and continues to do — to Ukrainian families, cities, and critical infrastructure.

Standing alongside this mission, Eva Sigaev, President of the Ukrainian American Chamber of Commerce and Industry(UACCI), represents the strength, resilience, and leadership of the Ukrainian business community in the United States, amplifying Ukraine’s voice and turning resilience into action on the policymaking level.

Today, during the U.S.–Ukraine Business Forum 2026, ISE Group, together with its partners — UACCI, United Heritage, HEARBEAT with AP, and Allrise Capital — presented the results of the research project UA2USA: From Evidence to Action.

So, what is this study about?

It is about Ukrainian business owners — women and men who came to the United States 30, 20, 10, 5, or even just 2 years ago and launched businesses that are already making a tangible impact on the U.S. economy.

How significant is that impact?

• $58 billion in total annual revenue nationwide
• Nearly 300,000 jobs created across the United States

Impressive? Absolutely.

The core findings of this research were first presented at the UA2USA: Ukrainian–American Business Forum, held on September 26, 2025, in Chicago.
After that, we brought this message to Washington, D.C.
And today, we officially launched the second wave of this research.

Our goal is clear:
to make Ukrainian businesses more visible,
to amplify the Ukrainian voice,
and to demonstrate our contribution to the shared prosperity of the United States.

The more policymakers hear clear, data-driven evidence of the Ukrainian impact on the U.S. economy, the better they understand why they should support the Ukrainian Adjustment Act.

We invite you to be part of this effort.
Please fill out the form in our bio and tell us about your business.
The more businesses we include, the stronger the data becomes — and the greater impact we have on policymakers’ decisions.

Do not remain indifferent — this affects every Ukrainian.
We have finally reached a level where we can speak in a way that ensures the Ukrainian voice is heard and respected — in business, in policy, and in the future we are building together.

Attending the office of Congressman Mike Quigley was a truly honorable experience.

It provides an opportunity to engage with a government representative who is actively involved in addressing community issues and shaping national policies.
Today meeting with a Congressman and their staff did empower us to voice our concerns and discuss important matters affecting our Ukrainian community.

Today marks the beginning of Ukrainian Week in Washington, D.C., and we are delighted to welcome all participants of this summit. It is truly an honor to speak about Ukraine, to highlight Ukraine’s contributions, and to engage in these discussions at the highest levels.

Eva Sigaev, President of UACCI, Alexander Romanishin, a leader at ISE Group, and Anastasiya Polo, founder of HEARBEAT with AP, have arrived in Washington to represent the interests of Ukraine and Ukrainian business.

This week brings together leaders, advocates, and partners to advance dialogue and strengthen connections between Ukraine and the United States, and we are proud to be part of it.

Let us introduce Mike Quigley one more time.

We don’t think he really needs an introduction, but let’s take a moment to highlight why he is truly outstanding for the Ukrainian community.

The Ukrainian Adjustment Act was introduced in the U.S. Congress by a group of lawmakers, including Congressman Mike Quigley, along with Representatives Bill Keating, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Marcy Kaptur.

What the bill does

The Ukrainian Adjustment Act provides Ukrainians in the U.S. on humanitarian parole or similar statuses the opportunity to obtain permanent residency (Green Card). This goes far beyond temporary protection—it offers stability, the ability to work, and the chance to build a long-term life here.

What Congressman Mike Quigley does for Ukraine

✔️ Congressman Quigley is one of the key advocates in Congress for supporting Ukrainians, especially regarding immigration rights and humanitarian assistance.
✔️ He has repeatedly expressed solidarity with Ukraine, urging the U.S. not to stop at words but to take real action to support our country during the war and help displaced people.

What he has said about Ukrainians

— Quigley emphasizes that Ukrainians fleeing the war need not just refuge but a stable status to work, contribute to society, and live without fear of deportation.
— He has also stressed the importance of broad support for Ukraine at both political and international levels.

He is one of the most loyal and reliable friends of Ukraine in Congress, and having leaders like him means our community has a strong voice in U.S. politics.
Thank you for everything you keep doing for Ukraine 🇺🇦.

Today we had a wonderful lunch with Congressman Mike Quigley and Ukrainian business owners.

It was an incredible opportunity to share ideas, discuss future initiatives, and talk specifically about the Ukrainian future in the USA.
Congressman Quigley has been a strong supporter of the Ukrainian community in the U.S., advocating for legislation like the Ukrainian Adjustment Act, which helps Ukrainians secure permanent residency and build a stable life here.

Having a reliable ally and voice for Ukraine in Congress is invaluable for our community, and it’s inspiring to see his continued commitment and support.

Thank you for creating such great opportunities together.
Special thanks to for having us.

Yesterday’s event was truly wonderful.
We had the great pleasure of listening to professionals from different medical fields and were once again reminded how knowledgeable and strong our community is.

We received very well-structured and, at the same time, essential insights into sleep health, vision care, and cardiology.
The atmosphere was incredibly warm — almost like a family gathering — bringing together people involved in business who are always busy and ready to take a call, yet still found the time, desire, and opportunity to come together this Thursday evening to share reflections and ideas.

We are truly grateful for this experience.
