“Resilience is about building businesses that can stand, no matter how hard the ground shakes beneath them. Because the future won’t ask if you are comfortable. It will ask if you are ready.” AmCham Ukraine Communications Director Yuliana Chyzhova delivered a powerful speech on Ukraine’s business resilience at the Transatlantic Business Summit 2026 hosted by AmCham Portugal in Lisbon as part of its 75th Anniversary.
The summit brought together European business leaders, policymakers, diplomats, and experts for a strategic reflection on the major challenges shaping the transatlantic space. Yuliana spoke about the current realities of doing business in Ukraine, shared stories of companies operating amid Russia’s full-scale war, and highlighted how resilient leadership is built – because the strongest companies are not the biggest, but the most adaptive.
Massive thank you to Graça Didier and AmCham Portugal team for igniting these vital conversations that strengthen the transatlantic business community in the face of uncertainty.
