In 2025, InterChem SLC<\/strong> was included in the ranking of the largest business investors in Ukrainian education.<\/p>\n According to research by the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE)<\/strong> and the business publication delo.ua<\/strong>, a list of Ukrainian companies making a significant contribution to education \u2014 particularly during the full-scale war \u2014 was compiled.<\/p>\n The \u201cTop Business Investors in Education\u201d ranking is based on financial figures \u2014 the actual funds invested in education during wartime \u2014 as well as on the Philanthropic Education Index<\/strong>, calculated individually for each company.<\/p>\n As part of the \u201cInvesting in Education\u201d<\/strong> project, the pharmaceutical company InterChem SLC<\/strong> was also named among the Top 13 best educational projects<\/strong> initiated by Ukrainian businesses. The Odesa-based manufacturer was awarded the title \u201cGuardian of Critical Knowledge\u201d<\/strong> for supporting chemical education \u2014 a field facing an acute shortage of qualified professionals that threatens its survival.<\/p>\n Since the start of the full-scale invasion alone, InterChem SLC<\/strong> has invested nearly \u20b420 million<\/strong> in supporting and developing national education. Yet, the company\u2019s contribution to education spans more than three decades<\/strong> of continuous activity.<\/p>\n The Odesa-based manufacturer is known for its strong philanthropic stance and numerous corporate social responsibility projects. InterChem SLC<\/strong> is also one of Ukraine\u2019s largest private donors. The company recognizes that, in times of war, corporate philanthropy plays a particularly crucial role.<\/p>\n Educational initiatives hold a special place among InterChem\u2019s charitable activities, with key areas and beneficiaries including:<\/p>\n specialized Ukrainian universities;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n secondary schools and boarding institutions for children with disabilities;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n professional development and additional training for employees;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n international cooperation and investment in Ukraine\u2019s education sector;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n projects at the intersection of education and cultural heritage preservation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u201cInvestment in education ensures the stability of high-tech industries \u2014 and the future workforce of our company.<\/p>\n Pharmaceutical manufacturing is a highly specialized, knowledge-intensive sector that demands true professionals \u2014 not only with diplomas but with real expertise and skills.<\/p>\n Between 2022 and 2025, we have invested about \u20b420 million in educational development. Our support of educational institutions has continued for decades. Through partnerships with leading universities, we expand our workforce, prevent talent shortages, and create favorable conditions for scientific growth.<\/p>\n This includes scholarships, awards, internships, educational excursions, funding of educational projects, and assistance in equipping and modernizing laboratories and classrooms. The quality of future professionals depends on these efforts,\u201d \u2014 commented InterChem SLC CEO Anatoliy Reder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n InterChem SLC<\/strong> has a long-standing and productive partnership with Odesa I.I. Mechnikov National University<\/strong>, alma mater for many of the company\u2019s employees \u2014 including the entire management team.<\/p>\n For example, Ihor Stelmakh<\/strong>, InterChem\u2019s Production Director and an expert in organic, theoretical, and stereochemistry, previously served as an associate professor at the university\u2019s chemistry faculty, where he helped establish the computer lab. Meanwhile, CEO Anatoliy Reder<\/strong> \u2014 a distinguished alumnus and Honorary Professor<\/strong> of the university \u2014 graduated with honors from the same faculty.<\/p>\n The company<\/strong> provides monthly scholarships for chemistry students and enhanced stipends for talented researchers, assists with the renovation of educational facilities, purchases of equipment, and other urgent needs, and regularly supports such initiatives through sponsorships. A\u00a0well-established and ongoing tradition also includes tours and internships<\/strong> for chemistry students at the company\u2019s production facilities.<\/p>\n InterChem SLC<\/strong> maintains a similarly productive and long-term partnership with the Kharkiv National University of Pharmacy<\/strong>. The company has cooperated for many years with this leading academic institution, its Clinical and Diagnostic Center<\/strong>, and the university\u2019s specialized departments, while also providing sponsorship support<\/strong> for the university\u2019s educational and research activities.<\/p>\n In 2022<\/strong>, to mark the anniversary of NUPh, InterChem SLC<\/strong> contributed to financing a scholarship-based educational project<\/strong> for future pharmacists.<\/p>\n The Physico-Chemical Institute named after Academician Oleksii Bogatsky<\/strong> of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine<\/strong> has been a partner and scientific inspiration for InterChem SLC<\/strong> since the very beginning of the company\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n Exceptional scientific expertise, joint development of original pharmaceutical substances, and multiple state awards in the field of science and technology have united the institute and the manufacturer for over three decades.<\/p>\n It was here, in the 1980s, that InterChem\u2019s CEO Anatoliy Reder<\/strong> earned his PhD in Chemistry<\/strong> before heading for postgraduate training at leading universities in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n There, he turned down a promising academic career to establish a unique pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprise<\/strong> in his home country, together with close colleagues. Today, the company supports the renovation and modernization<\/strong> of the institute\u2019s laboratories, classrooms, and conference halls.<\/p>\n The pharmaceutical manufacturer does not overlook primary and secondary education<\/strong>, supporting specialized schools and boarding institutions. In addition, in 2023<\/strong>, the company joined the United24 initiative \u201cThe Power of Unity.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n As part of the project, the company\u2019s CEO personally attended Sir Richard Branson\u2019s charity gala in New York<\/strong>, where guests jointly raised funds to rebuild a destroyed school in Maryanivka, Kyiv region<\/strong>. This was just one of many United24 initiatives<\/strong> supported by the manufacturer\u2014with total contributions exceeding \u20b412 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The company employs around 1,000 people<\/strong>, with special attention given to their comfort and favorable working conditions<\/strong>. For two consecutive years, InterChem SLC<\/strong> has been included in the ranking of Ukraine\u2019s Best Employers<\/strong>, and in 2024<\/strong> the company received a special award in the category \u201cEffective Solutions in Management.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The pharmaceutical manufacturer takes a strategic approach to HR<\/strong>, investing in employee benefit programs, a well-designed work environment, training and scholarship programs, and the recruitment of specialists from frontline regions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n A logical continuation of these efforts is internal education<\/strong> \u2014 the ongoing professional development of pharmaceutical specialists and production staff through training programs, courses, seminars, and conferences<\/strong>. During the full-scale invasion, the company also introduced a first aid course<\/strong> with hands-on training using simulation models<\/strong>.<\/p>\n All educational initiatives that existed before the war have also been preserved, including the free English-language program \u201cEnglish Speaking Club\u201d<\/strong> at InterChem SLC, which has been successfully running for over two decades<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The company pays special attention to projects that combine education and cultural heritage preservation<\/strong>. Later, the company presented Saint Sophia Cathedral<\/strong> with a special 3D prism<\/strong> used to project a volumetric hologram of the true face of Yaroslav the Wise<\/strong>. This project helped broaden public awareness of Ukraine\u2019s authentic historical heritage<\/strong>, which has been repeatedly distorted or appropriated by the enemy over centuries. At InterChem SLC<\/strong>, it is strongly believed that at a time when education also means restoring lost and distorted historical knowledge, such a contribution is of exceptional value.<\/p>\n The company also joined the \u201cBoryviter. Restoration\u201d<\/strong> project, during which 15 artists recreated the mosaic panel by Alla Horska<\/strong>, destroyed by Russian forces in Mariupol in 2022. The initiative was carried out with the support of the Alla Horska and Viktor Zakretsky Foundation<\/strong>, the Ukraine WOW NGO<\/strong>, and Ukrainian businesses.<\/p>\n InterChem SLC<\/strong> was among the first to join the initiative, becoming a guardian of a fragment of the restored masterpiece<\/strong>. A full-scale replica of the mosaic was later presented in London by Oleksandr Usyk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The company continues its efforts to improve the educational and cultural environment<\/strong> through international engagement. InterChem SLC CEO Anatoliy Reder<\/strong> participates in the work of the Business Advisory Council (BAC)<\/strong> as a permanent delegate representing Ukraine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It is an <\/span>advisory body of the Ukraine Donor Platform, jointly established by the <\/span>European Union, Ukraine, and the G7, which works to improve the country\u2019s business environment and attract foreign investment \u2014 including into the <\/span>education sector.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAs a pharmaceutical manufacturer, InterChem SLC<\/strong> is a strategic part of Ukraine\u2019s national healthcare system. And as a responsible Ukrainian business, we are also part of the resistance to Russian aggression \u2014 with education<\/strong> being one of its key strategic pillars. These roles are inseparable: by supporting the army, we strengthen the safety of our citizens, while also investing in their worldview and future generations \u2014 helping to build a solid home front for our defenders,\u201d\u2014 emphasizes Anatoliy Reder<\/strong>, CEO of InterChem SLC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In 2025, InterChem SLC was included in the ranking of the largest business investors in Ukrainian education.
