“Manage the Future” Charitable Foundation: Year-End Summary

News of the business school

2025 marks the fourth year of full-scale war - a year of serious trials for Ukraine. Through it all, MIM Business School kept moving: delivering education, building international partnerships, deepening ties with the global academic community, driving important discussions, and supporting initiatives that matter for Ukraine. It was a full and meaningful year - the result of a clear strategy, the dedicated work of our faculty, and the strength of the MIM community. Once again, we saw that growth is possible even in the hardest conditions, when we face them together. We work, move forward, and plan for the future.
Here is a look back at the most significant moments of 2025 - for MIM Business School, our students, and our alumni.
 
International Milestones
<ul>
<li>One of the most significant events of the year was the strategic partnership between MIM Business School and the Academy of Management (AOM) - one of the most influential professional bodies in management globally. The partnership is a deliberate step in the broader strategy of raising Ukraine's international visibility and strengthening the presence of Ukrainian management thinking on the world stage. A partnership at this level opens the door for Ukrainian academics to integrate into global management scholarship - and its impact extends well beyond MIM. Ukrainian faculty, scholars, and researchers now have the opportunity to engage with global professional communities and participate in leading international events, including the Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management - the largest academic management conference in the world. This will support the development of research in Ukraine, raise the quality of teaching, and help Ukrainian scholars find their place in the global academic conversation. MIM faculty gain access to current research methodologies and international educational practices, strengthening Ukraine's standing among the world's academic management community. In this way, MIM Business School serves as a bridge between the Ukrainian academic community and the international scholarly world - a role that carries particular weight in wartime, when such connections are harder to build and all the more valuable.</li>
</ul>
 
<ul>
<li>In 2025, MIM Business School also reaffirmed its position as Ukraine's leading business education institution, receiving the 4 Palmes of Excellence award and the status of Top Business School with Significant International Influence in the prestigious Eduniversal 2025 ranking - for the tenth time. This recognition confirmed MIM's place among the top 5% of business schools worldwide, and reflected the resilience of Ukrainian education, the trust placed in its programs, and MIM's role in shaping leaders who are building the country's future in extraordinarily difficult times.</li>
</ul>
 
<ul>
<li>MIM Business School is the only educational institution in Ukraine whose MBA program is accredited by the Global Accreditation Center (GAC) of the Project Management Institute (PMI). This means all MBA graduates receive certificates confirming their knowledge and skills in project management in line with international PMI standards, opening access to global professional opportunities and international projects. In support of professional community development, MIM Business School served as a partner of the PMI Ukraine Excellence Award 2025 - an initiative recognizing professionals whose projects create real social and business impact. We believe initiatives like this are vital: they give professionals visibility, earned recognition, and a platform for developing the leadership, innovation, and values that shape the future.</li>
</ul>
 
<ul>
<li>MIM Business School President Iryna Tykhomyrova was appointed President of BMDA (Baltic Management Development Association) for the second time.</li>
</ul>
 
Educational Programs and Development in Ukraine
<ul>
<li>Throughout 2025, MIM Business School actively developed its educational programs, creating new learning formats that balance academic depth with practical business relevance. Distinguished business figures and public personalities joined MIM as guest speakers and honorary lecturers throughout the year.</li>
</ul>
 
<ul>
<li>For the first time since the start of the full-scale invasion, MIM resumed offsite sessions for students - the first being "Business Experience and Best Practices of Zakarpattia." Business visits to leading Kyiv companies continued regularly throughout the year, and MIM also welcomed representatives of leading Ukrainian business communities for guest visits to the school. From March 2025, in-person events resumed on a permanent basis.</li>
</ul>
 
<ul>
<li>MIM also continued its collaboration with the leading Swiss business school IMD (Institute for Management Development), delivering two joint programs in 2025. The second cohort of the Women Leadership Program graduated - with twice as many participants as the previous year. A new joint MIM-IMD project also launched successfully, supported by Ukrainian companies and organizations - AM+SP Science Park, the KOLO Charitable Foundation, and the Aurora retail network. The Innovation Management program was designed to support Ukraine's startup ecosystem and help participants scale their ideas in global markets.</li>
</ul>
 
Social Initiatives
<ul>
<li>In February 2025, MIM Business School joined the Principles of Veteran-Friendly Business, which set standards for supporting defenders and their families. Alongside leading representatives of Ukrainian business, MIM committed to working in this direction and contributing to the integration of veterans into civilian life. Initial steps included developing and launching education and adaptation programs for veterans, offering dedicated study conditions, and creating an inclusive environment at MIM.</li>
</ul>
 
<ul>
<li>In 2025, MIM launched a new course - "Post-War Management: Leadership in the Age of Return" - aimed at building management competencies in the context of national recovery. Through a joint initiative between the "Believe in Yourself" Charitable Foundation and MIM Business School, focused on the socioeconomic integration of veterans and small business development, veterans and their family members completed training under the "Brave 4.0" project.</li>
</ul>
 
<ul>
<li>The "Manage the Future" Charitable Foundation, established by MIM Business School, remained active throughout the year, concentrating its efforts on supporting the Central Clinical Hospital of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. For its sustained assistance and meaningful contribution to the support and recovery of wounded defenders, the foundation - represented by its director Tetiana Shylan - was awarded the honorary Medal "For Service to the State."</li>
</ul>
 
The Strength of the MIM Community
Our greatest source of pride and our real strength  is the MIM community. Our students and alumni inspire us. We celebrate your successes, collaborate on shared projects, support each other's initiatives, and plan the future together. You are the ones who give MIM its meaning, its substance, and its forward momentum.
In 2025, we take particular pride in the achievements of our alumni and students:
<ul>
<li>Viktor Ivanchyk, MIM alumnus and founder and CEO of Astarta agro-industrial holding, was included in the UP100 list - 100 leaders shaping Ukraine's independence and future. This is the third consecutive year he has appeared in this prestigious ranking.</li>
</ul>
 
<ul>
<li>Olha Unitska, a Women Leadership Program participant, won the "UP100: The Power of Women" ranking in the Education and Science category, and in August was awarded the title of Honored Physician of Ukraine.</li>
</ul>
 
<ul>
<li>Following the annual "25 Leading Banks of Ukraine" study by Finhub, our alumna Larysa Chernyshova - Deputy Chair of the Board for Finance at PrivatBank - won the Best CFO award.</li>
</ul>
 
<ul>
<li>At the 2025 award ceremony for the national "TOP-10 CFOs of Ukraine 2024" ranking, three MIM representatives received recognition: </li>
</ul>
 
Oksana Vyshnia, SE MBA alumna (2020), CFO of Agricom Group;
Oleksandra Yeshchenko, Pre-MBA: Finance alumna (2024), currently an MBA student; Pavlo Shaposhnikov, MBA student (2024).
 
<ul>
<li>Kateryna Kostereva, MBA alumna (2000) and DBA alumna (2011), founder and CEO of Creatio - a global no-code/CRM platform valued at $1.2 billion - won in the "MIM Pride" category.</li>
</ul>
We have deep admiration for the spirit of Vitaliy Deynega - volunteer, public figure, founder of the "Come Back Alive" foundation, and MBA alumnus (2020) - and for his annual Black Cloud project: an art-weapon that defends Ukraine and speaks to the world with power and meaning. We also congratulate Yevhen Tafiichuk, MBA alumnus (2021), who will take over as CEO of Nova Poshta in 2026.
A short year-in-review can never capture every achievement - but we are proud of every single one of our graduates and sincerely thank the entire MIM community for this year: for the support, mutual trust, and inspiration with which we faced it together.
We step into 2026 with gratitude for the path we have walked and confidence in the future we are building together. New projects, new ideas, and new victories lie ahead. More on that - in the new year.
Watch the January edition of MIM-TV with Iryna Tykhomyrova and stay tuned for our announcements.
