On March 3, 2026, the 10th anniversary ceremony of the international Businesswoman & Businessman 2025 Award took place in Kyiv, recognizing the achievements of women and men in entrepreneurship, management, and leadership.
Among the award winners is Yurii Kryvosheia, President, Managing Partner, and Co-Founder of PJSC Toronto-Kyiv, who was honored in the “Socially Responsible Business” category. This recognition highlights his consistent work at the intersection of business, investment, and international cooperation.
Yurii Kryvosheia leads the investment and development company Toronto-Kyiv and is actively involved in the development of multiple businesses across real estate, the hospitality sector, e-commerce, and impact investing.
