Abstract

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has destroyed much of the Ukrainian infrastructure. Post war period focuses on the restoration of the infrastructure as a hope to avoid the economic hardship for the public. The government’s dedication to reviving the economy and infrastructure requires the intervention of the public sphere through the neoliberal approach. This approach requires the services of entrepreneurs to achieve the desire goals. The competition factor and the inclusive strategy to take all the key stakeholders on board is the primary concern of the neo-liberal approach. This paper underpins the intricate play between entrepreneurial initiative and the restoration of the infrastructure though the regional cooperation. Despite the opportunities provided by the war for the drastic changes in business, the negative impact of the war is more concerned about the aftershocks of such a crucial destruction. This paper aims to investigate entrepreneurs' role in restoring the infrastructure in the war-ravaged areas of Ukraine. The qualitative method serves the purpose of investigating through the analytical approach. Entrepreneurial initiatives have contributed heavily to restoration through economic uplift, innovative steps, and domestic integration. It presents business as a resilient tool to bear the aftershocks of unwelcomed. Fostering the innovation and the international supports could reduce the burden on the government and promote the competition to achieve the desired results for reconstruction.
