“R-18 Invincible is a symbol of spirit, responsibility and cooperation
This week, the Regional Development Agency of Odesa Region held an informative meeting with representatives of the Emerald Charitable Foundation to develop formats of interaction and outline ways to attract financial programs to support the newly created foundation.
The agency acted as a moderator and partner to develop effective steps that will help the foundation attract grants, build sustainable partnerships, and implement projects for the benefit of communities.
The Emerald Charitable Foundation was created with the support of Emerald Motors, the official BMW dealer and BMW Motorrad Odesa, Porsche Center Odesa – Emerald Sportscar, and Emerald Color and Body Workshop. This case demonstrates how socially responsible business can become a powerful factor in supporting society.
The main focus of the meeting was the presentation of the R-18 Unbreakable custom motorcycle, which has become a metaphor for Ukrainian resilience. The motorcycle was created on the basis of a restored model rescued from a destroyed dealership in Kharkiv, and today it is not just a piece of equipment – it is a story of revival, which has the signature of the President of Ukraine and won the international competition BMW Motorrad Customizing Championship 2023.
“Emerald Motors sets an example of how business can inspire not only with innovation but also with humanity. Supporting social initiatives, humanitarian projects, and creating a foundation are steps that lead to a deeper impact on community development.
The Agency is increasing its cooperation with business and the public sector every day. We help find opportunities, turn ideas into action, and scale the result.
This meeting is another confirmation of how synergy creates projects that change the future
The Regional Development Agency of Odesa Region receives institutional support from the Swiss-Ukrainian project “Cohesion and Regional Development of Ukraine”, the UCORD Project, which is implemented with the support of Switzerland through the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, by NIRAS Sweden AB.
