– In today’s world, until recently, there was widespread faith in the predictability of events. Reality, however, constantly surprises us with events that shock us to the point that they have gained their own definition. These are the so-called “black swans,” or factors that affect supply chains under conditions of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity- explains Joanna Porath, founder and CEO of AC Porath.

Participants of W4UA had the opportunity to exchange experiences, establish closer relations, and learn about the real needs of Ukrainian cities and villages.
– Participation in such a unique event as the World For Ukraine Summit turned out to be was an extraordinary experience for us. Not only in business terms, but also, or perhaps even primarily, in human terms. It was the first time we met with so many human stories in one place and indirectly experienced the enormity of the tragedy that befell our neighbors. We are all the more pleased that with our presence we made a small contribution to help Ukraine, which after all, needs our joint support like never before. In Rzeszow we were able to establish many interesting contacts with representatives of business, local administration or aid organizations. We strongly believe in the sense of organizing similar events and hope that in the near future there will be peace across our eastern border and we will start the process of reconstruction– says Marcin Ramotowski, Customs Services Development Manager at SGS.
Partners of the entire event were international foundations with global reach, including: Spirit of America and Global Empowerment Mission.
