Abstract
In the current conditions of instability and transformation of the economic space of Ukraine, especially as a result of military actions, the development of business ecosystems is gaining special importance. They act not only as a mechanism for consolidating resources and cooperation between various market participants, but also as a tool for adapting the economy to new challenges and stimulating innovative growth. However, despite the growing attention to this topic, gaps remain in the scientific and practical spheres regarding a comprehensive assessment of the current state, barriers to development, and strategies for activating business ecosystems in Ukraine. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of the formation and functioning of business ecosystems in Ukraine, assess their current state, and develop strategic directions and tools for their activation in the context of modern socio-economic and geopolitical challenges. The study used a systematic approach, content analysis of scientific publications and analytical reports, structural and functional analysis, methods of generalization, comparison, and logical modeling. The assessment of the level of maturity of business ecosystems was carried out taking into account institutional, infrastructural, innovative, and financial components. It was established that business ecosystems in Ukraine are at the stage of formation or transformation, with signs of fragmentation and limited integration. The main types of such ecosystems were identified, and their predominant industry and regional forms were determined. Barriers that hinder development were identified - in particular, an unstable regulatory environment, insufficient access to financing, weak innovative infrastructure, and a low level of digitalization. A set of strategic directions for activating the development of business ecosystems was substantiated: from digital transformation and support for startup infrastructure to improving inter-sectoral coordination and international integration. The development of business ecosystems is a key factor in the formation of a sustainable and innovative economy in Ukraine. The strategic guidelines and tools proposed in the article can become the basis for improving state policy to support entrepreneurship, reducing the vulnerability of the economy to crisis phenomena, and strengthening the competitiveness of Ukrainian business in the European and global contexts.
