There was huge gap in supply chain in March-April 2022 in Ukraine when most of foreign suppliers stopped deliveries to Ukraine. Considering different options, Kharkiv EAM cluster proposed services of ELAKS (cluster members) whose facilities have been already relocated in Bratislava, Slovakia. ELAKS got its own and good experience of delivering electrical goods and services in Ukraine, with much better time of delivery compared to traditional schemes. Project ideal comes from this experience, what if we creare a joint logistic center for many accumulated needs in Ukraine including humanitarian ones?
