The Principles of Veteran-Friendly Business were developed by Starlight Media with expert support from Veteran Hub, in collaboration with Forbes Ukraine. The Ministry for Veterans Affairs of Ukraine is the initiative’s main government partner. The Ministry for Strategic Industries of Ukraine has provided important and effective support for the initiative within the defense industry.
Today, the community of veteran-friendly businesses brings together 99 Ukrainian companies from various sectors of the economy, united by a shared public commitment to act in the interests of veterans, service members, and their families.
The Principles of Veteran-Friendly Business have been endorsed by JSC Ukrainian Defense Industry, which brings together 112 state-owned enterprises and the heads of 41 private companies producing weapons, armored vehicles, UAVs, ground robotic systems, and electronic warfare equipment.
Athlon Avia is actively joining this initiative and welcomes veterans to apply for positions within the company. It is particularly important that our team includes veterans with combat experience operating the “Furia” UAS.
This step highlights the importance of bringing together the efforts of the government, business, and the veteran community to create favorable conditions for the development and support of Ukraine’s defenders.
