A representative office of Jeff Bezos’ company has been registered in Ukraine. This is reported by "Komersant Ukrainian" with reference to the company’s dossier on the YouControl platform.
In early January 2025, a representative office of the American company TWP Ukraine LLC officially appeared in Ukraine. Its ultimate beneficial owner is a well-known businessman and founder of Amazon and the aerospace company Blue Origin.
The company’s registration aroused considerable interest in the Ukrainian market, as its activities may be related to new technological projects in the field of data analysis and artificial intelligence.

The company’s office is located in a building near the Kyiv Court of Appeal. Attorney Maxim Makhinya, who is associated with the law and patent firm Grischenko & Partners, has been appointed as director.

A representative office of Bezos’ structure appeared in the capital: what is known about the company’s origin
TWP Ukraine LLC’s parent company is registered in Delaware, USA, a state known for its favorable business environment. Delaware is considered one of the most popular places for incorporation due to its low taxes, transparent corporate law system and simple business rules.
The company’s office in the United States is located at the Corporation Trust Center in Wilmington. This center is a subsidiary of the international corporation Wolters Kluwer and acts as a registration agent for hundreds of thousands of companies in the United States and abroad. According to 2012, more than 285 thousand companies were registered at the Corporation Trust Center, making it one of the largest corporate registration hubs in the world.
The owner of 99.9% of the company’s authorized capital is Jeffrey Preston Bezos, an American businessman and one of the richest people in the world. The company was officially registered on October 30, 2024 under the number 7684965. This means that the structure is relatively new, but from the very beginning it was positioned as a tool for the development of new areas of the billionaire’s activities.
Jeff Bezos’ company enters the Ukrainian market: potential areas of work
Experts suggest that the emergence of TWP Ukraine LLC may be related to Bezos’ interest in artificial intelligence, data analytics, and work with public information. Ukraine, which has been actively developing its own IT sector and startup ecosystem in recent years, is an attractive platform for research and recruitment.
The company is likely to collect and analyze open data on Eastern European markets, consumer trends, user behavior, and the dynamics of digital services. Such information can be useful both for the development of Amazon’s commercial projects or related entities and for long-term innovation strategies.
