Startec Industries Included in Forbes Ukraine’s Prestigious List
Startec Industries has been officially included in the NEXT 250 Forbes Ukraine 2026 list – a selection of 250 promising Ukrainian small and medium-sized businesses that demonstrate resilience, innovation and contribute to the country’s economic future.
What scale are we talking about?
NEXT 250 is not a traditional ranking based on capital volume, but a qualitative overview of Ukrainian businesses in a “transitional age” that have already outgrown the boundaries of entrepreneurship and are growing dynamically.
According to Forbes Ukraine’s analysis, this year’s list includes companies with revenues ranging from UAH 10 million to UAH 1 billion based on their 2025 results, while the combined revenue of all participants exceeded UAH 63 billion. The final list was formed from more than 662 initial candidates based on financial indicators, growth rates, export potential, management practices and expert assessments.
Why is this important for Startec Industries?
A distinctive feature of this year’s selection is that almost half of the companies are manufacturing businesses creating hardware, equipment and technological solutions for other industries.
For Startec Industries, this is significant professional confirmation that we have chosen the right strategy. Our focus remains unchanged:
- Moving beyond the limitations of the “mass market”, where standard equipment makes production dependent on inflexible cycles.
- Developing our own engineering and design expertise and production base.
- Moving from simple “machine tool supply” to creating unique industrial systems tailored to the specific business goals of our customers.
“Being included in NEXT 250 is an important signal for our entire team and the market as a whole. Ukrainian industrial business has enormous potential, while engineering companies today are the foundation of the country’s technological recovery,” says Denys Olofinskyi, CEO of Startec Industries.
We thank the Forbes Ukraine editorial team for its well-deserved attention to the real sector of the economy. We continue to create engineering solutions that enhance the efficiency of Ukrainian manufacturing.
