Methodology
The Open Data Bot Index is an analytical tool that allows you to assess the real situation and geography of Ukrainian business. The index is based on data from state registries, Open Data Bot registries, companies’ financial reports, information about ties with the Russian Federation, sanctions lists, and other Open Data Bot analytical tools.
The OpenDataBot Index 2026 takes into account both financial indicators (annual financial reports of companies for 2025) and the business reputation of companies.
The list does not include companies under sanctions, businesses with owners or ultimate beneficiaries from the Russian Federation, as well as enterprises whose ownership structure directly includes persons under sanctions. In addition, companies that appear on the “black list” of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine were excluded from the list. This approach made it possible to compile a list of companies that meet not only economic but also ethical and legal standards of business conduct.
The Index also has special marks for certain categories of companies. In particular, businesses associated with public figures — deputies or politicians who are required to declare their income — are marked. Diy City resident companies, as well as companies undergoing reorganization, are highlighted separately. Companies that did not submit their financial statements on time may also have been excluded from the list.

It is expected that agricultural producers will be able to keep about 3,000 head of livestock on new and reconstructed farms.

This year, we have reimbursed up to 25% of the cost of facilities that have been put into operation since the beginning of the year,” said Deputy Minister of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture Taras Vysotsky, whose words are quoted in the report.
