Robotics as a response to workforce challenges: a roundtable of business and government representatives
On November 19, 2025, a roundtable titled “Robotics as a response to business challenges related to mobilization and workforce shortages” took place in Kyiv. The Union of Ukrainian Entrepreneurs organized the event, and Kormotech supported the initiative and joined the discussion on how automation helps Ukrainian businesses remain resilient during turbulent times.
At Kormotech, we systematically implement automation solutions at every stage – from production to logistics. Among the solutions already in use:
- Robotic packaging lines that ensure consistent quality and precision;
- Automated raw material feeding and recipe control systems that minimize human error;
- Warehouse automation and internal logistics optimization projects.
Robotics is not about replacing people – it’s about scaling.
Speakers – including representatives of Nova Poshta, the Ministry of Economy, Profi Robotix, the State Employment Service, and Ukrzaliznytsia – shared real-life cases where automation helped preserve product and service quality, reduce team workloads, and retain critical jobs.
For Kormotech, this is an incentive to develop a culture of learning further, strengthen internal training systems, and continue investing in automation and robotics. We aim for technology to compensate for labor shortages, allowing people to focus on value-adding tasks – quality control, process management, and innovation.
“For us, robotics is a strategic pathway that enables our company to stay resilient, grow, and protect jobs. We supported this roundtable because only by sharing experience and practices can businesses find effective answers to the challenges facing our country and economy,” said Igor Paraniak, Chief Operating Officer at Kormotech.
We will continue investing in innovation and supporting initiatives that drive the development of Ukraine’s tech market. Knowledge sharing, open dialogue, and the courage to embrace change are key to staying strong – even in the most challenging times.
