Following the Tent European Business Summit in Paris, 41 leading companies have announced their plans to provide over 250,000 Ukrainian refugees with job opportunities and training throughout Europe. This information was released in a press release summarizing the business summit. Well-known IT giants, including Amazon, Microsoft, Cisco, Salesforce, Google, and LinkedIn, are among the companies that have expressed their readiness to support this initiative.

Several prominent brands have committed to hiring 13,680 refugees by 2025. Amazon plans to employ a minimum of 5,000 refugees, while Hilton and Marriott International will hire 1,500 each. ISS will employ 1,000, and Teleperformance will offer 500 job opportunities. Leading global staffing agencies such as Adecco, ManpowerGroup, and Randstad will assist in job placement for 152,000 refugees.

Dominika Bettman, the General Manager of Microsoft Corporation in Poland and co-host of the Tent European Business Summit, stated, "Millions of Ukrainian refugees who have been welcomed by Poland and other European countries since the start of the war are mainly women burdened with childcare responsibilities. Many of them continue to face professional and social challenges in their efforts to enter the local job market. Education is an important step for these ready and talented individuals as they seek employment. Microsoft Corporation is proud to be part of this pivotal moment today with our commitment to collaborate with our partners across Europe to educate at least 5,000 Ukrainians by 2025."

Additionally, several major companies have announced their commitment to provide education for over 86,000 refugees over the next three years. This education will cover IT, coding, cybersecurity, and the specificities of the European job market. For example, Accenture will provide training and support for approximately 16,000 refugees, Indeed will educate at least 15,000, Cisco 10,000, Microsoft 5,000, and Generali 5,000. Other companies involved in refugee education include Accor, Amazon, Hempel, Kyndryl, ManpowerGroup, Novartis, Randstad, Salesforce, Starbucks EMEA, and Unilever.

Google, LinkedIn, and Visa have pledged financial support to initiatives aimed at assisting refugee employment in Europe.

According to the United Nations, as of June 6, 2023, approximately 6 million Ukrainian refugees are residing in European countries. Summit participants have noted that efforts to facilitate the employment of Ukrainians will contribute to the stabilization of the situation in Europe.

The companies expressing their intentions hope that these actions will not only strengthen their own teams and fill labor gaps but also contribute to the development of the European economy. It is expected that the total income of refugees across Europe will exceed 2 billion euros annually.
