Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Dnipro are recognized cities of Ukraine with strong traditions and expertise in metalworking. Strong deindustrialization processes of the last decade degrade positions of big (post-soviet) enterprises when new SMEs are still growing. United into Industrial Engineering clusters, such SMEs need support of new quality standards, skills and technologies. The war just actualized and deepened these issues as all mentioned cities. in many cases, lost their best assets, staff and customers. New competence center, specialized in metalworking, can provide shared assets and services for hundred of SMEs, and so far foster and save their businesses.
