In a rapidly changing global and economic landscape, export is no longer just an opportunity for Ukrainian businesses - it is a strategic necessity. However, entering international markets without a clear structure, preparation and understanding of local dynamics often leads to chaos, financial losses and missed opportunities.
In this article, Yuliia Solovyeva presents a practical, structured approach to export expansion in 2025. She explores how companies can assess their real readiness for international growth, choose the right market based on data rather than intuition, build an effective entry strategy and avoid the most common and costly mistakes.
Drawing on her experience of working across numerous international markets, Yuliia covers key elements of a successful export strategy: operational preparedness, market analysis frameworks, localisation principles, cultural nuances, team structure and the critical role of CRM and AI-driven tools in accelerating scalable growth.
The article also offers a regional perspective on entering the EU, the Middle East, Asia and the United States, highlighting the differences in business culture, regulations, customer expectations and partnership models.
This is not just a theoretical overview - it is a real-world roadmap for founders, CEOs and leadership teams who are ready to move beyond local limitations and build sustainable, international presence.
