Galina Gerega, Co-founder of the Epicenter K companies’ group, is among the confirmed forum speakers. She was born August 9, 1959 in the Lvov region. She is in business since 1994, when she took the deputy director’ position in the enterprise “Glybochitsa”. In 2003, she founded together with her husband Alexander her own company, LLC Epicenter K. For 15 years, Epicenter shopping centers all-Ukrainian national chain has grown from a small ceramic tile shop at Petr Zaporozhets in Kiev, which unites 51 shopping centers throughout the country. The company’s assets also include the SC Novaja Linija chain, the agricultural direction and production facilities for ceramics and woodworking.

Galina Gerega said remembering the own business beginning: “Do not stop and believe in success – this principle is universal for every Ukrainian business. In my time we built the company Epicenter precisely on these principles. I am sure that today great opportunities for development are opening up for the Ukrainian manufacturer. There is a demand for its products and not only because of the low price. The domestic buyer appreciated the quality of the goods that are produced in Ukraine, and consciously makes a choice in its favor. And these are not just beautiful words, this is a trend that we, as one of the largest retailers in the country, feel for ourselves. The new production facilities’ creation is not easy in political instability conditions. But at the same time, the market is waiting for domestic investment”.
