For the eleventh time, the International Scientific and Practical Conference "Economic and legal aspects of business: current state, efficiency and prospects"which is not just an event in the academic calendar, but an intellectual platform for shaping the vision of tomorrow's economy.

💬Anatoly KOVALEVDoctor of Economics, Professor, Rector of ONEU:
"Today, science and practice are once again joining forces to not only understand the present, but also to predict the future. Ukraine is on the threshold of a major transformation, and it is economic science that should become a guiding light in these changes. We believe in the power of ideas, in the potential of young researchers, and in the fact that every analytical thought can turn into a solution that can change the country's economy."

💬 Alexander LitvinovPhD in Economics, Professor, Vice-Rector for Research at ONEU:
"This conference is a dialogue between generations, scientific schools and regions. Each of the studies presented here is a step towards building a competitive, innovative and sustainable economy. We are grateful to everyone who shapes the country's intellectual potential every day - in classrooms, laboratories, business and public administration."

💬Andrii ANDREICHENKOPhD in Economics, Professor, Head of the Department of Economics, Law and Business Management at ONEU:
"The topic of business today is not only about economics, but also about values, adaptation, and innovation. It covers the legal, social and environmental aspects of development. We must not just respond to the challenges of the times - we must shape the future we want to see."

🧭 Current research areas
The topics of this year's conference are striking in their diversity and depth.
From digital transformations to sustainable development, from innovations in light industry to new models of agribusiness, the researchers address the topics that form the basis of Ukraine's post-war economic revival.

• V. Andrushkov explores the international experience of the tourism industry development as an example of how the experience economy becomes a catalyst for the restoration of territories.
• Atamanchuk emphasises the role of digital communications in industry, where the speed and transparency of interaction shape the competitiveness of an enterprise.
• O.S. Bila and A.S. Gostenko analyse new accounting, audit and analytics tools in the context of digital transformation.
• K.O. Drobeniuk and A.S. Dubovka demonstrate how the Ukrainian light industry is finding adaptation strategies even during the war - and how hemp textiles can become a marker of the green revolution in the fashion industry.
• M.V. Zos-Kior and colleagues consider service leadership in education as a tool for the formation of an ethical and emotionally mature economy.
• T.S. Martyshchenko is researching mechanisms to support communities, as the development of territories is the foundation of social sustainability.
• Senchenko talks about an innovative model of post-war reconstruction, in which the creative economy and technology play a key role.

Among all these areas, Alla Stoyanova's report deserves special attention "Current challenges of agricultural business development in Ukraine and ways to overcome them".

🌾 Focus on the agricultural sector
💬Alla Stoyanova, ONEU, PhD student at the Department of Economics, Law and Business Management:
"Ukrainian agribusiness is a symbol of resilience, dignity and strategic thinking. Over the past two years, the share of agricultural exports in the country's foreign exchange earnings has exceeded 55%, and despite the war, more than 30% farmers have invested in modernising their machinery. This demonstrates not only endurance, but also faith in the future.

Our task is to create a new architecture to support farmers: from digital risk management tools to green investments and international cooperation. Ukrainian land Today it is territory of the futureWe are creating together".

🌍 Looking to the future
The XI Conference is the pulse of Ukrainian science, which feels the demands of society and seeks solutions in the most difficult realities.
In the hall are teachers, students, scientists, and managers who believe that economic science is not about numbers, but about the people who create these numbers. Each thesis, each presentation is a belief that even in times of turbulence, it is possible to build an efficient, fair, green and innovative economy.

Today's conference is a reminder that economics is the art of the possible.

It is possible for those who think systematically, work with passion and see horizons where others see limitations.

ONEU once again confirms its role as a centre of scientific energy that can change Ukraine - through ideas, partnerships and the determination to act. Because only where there is thought, the future is born. And today, it is being born in Odesa.
