In Ukraine, the first official award ceremony of EcoFlow brand partners took place, which is dedicated to the contribution to the development of the energy system of Ukraine. EcoFlow Dealers Awards 2022 was held symbolically on Energy Day and was initiated by DroneUA, the exclusive distributor of EcoFlow in Ukraine. More than 100 partners joined the event: from national retail chains to local specialized offline stores. As part of the official program, there was a summary of the results of cooperation in 2022, a discussion of market growth prospects and opportunities for joint work.
In just one year of exclusive representation of EcoFlow in Ukraine, the DroneUA company formed a network that includes 750+ partners, more than 3000 sales points and 750+ integrators. Together with them, 37,000 families were provided with their own power sources, and as of January this number will increase rapidly
“2022 was a very difficult year for every business representative, but while other companies are downsizing, DroneUA tripled in size. We also launched a partnership initiative together with Oschadbank for lending EcoFlow products under the state program "Affordable loans 5-7-9%" to enable businesses to work autonomously. Together with you, we achieved impossible results in such a short period of time - we helped almost 37,000 Ukrainian families to purchase backup power for their own homes. This is great joint work with partners who support and strengthen our initiatives" - Valery Yakovenko, co-owner of the DroneUA company.
