(Re)Build (New) Ukraine | Completing projects in Ukraine during the first year of the war – case studies
Hybrid Event | 9 March | 10:00-12:30 | Meeting held in English

Ukrainian business in the new reality – war brings challenges, victory brings opportunities
The first whole year of the new reality in Ukraine is behind us. A year ago, in the morning of 24th of February everyone woke up with a fear that normal life may be over for good, with only uncertainty and danger ahead.
That time was full of fear, dreams of returning to peace and normality, worries for families and friends, memories of grandparents talking about war as the greatest evil. Since then many innocent people have died, and their homes and infrastructure have also been destroyed.

The current situation of the Ukrainian economy and market
Ukrainian business survives notwithstanding the loss of 30% of the country’s economy, with over five million having lost their jobs, over six million having fled the country and living abroad, with ten million in total displaced, 75% of energy infrastructure damaged and regularly malfunctioning, and total damages amounting to around 750 billion USD, amidst constant bombing and massive mobilization of men.
But with small steps taken every day, Ukrainian business has gradually achieved big results. 80% of companies have to a certain extent returned to operations and look confidently into the future. Many individuals have started new companies and business activities, and a number of companies have reallocated from east to a safer west.

The topic of reconstruction of Ukraine is mobilising thousands of businesses worldwide. And victory will come for sure!

Case studies of successful projects in war-time Ukraine
Let’s talk about business. Join us for a panel discussion where we will talk about real business case studies. We know what and where are the business opportunities and tenders in Ukraine. So, now is the time to discuss concrete projects that foreign companies have completed or are doing in this country.
We have supported Ukraine from the first days of the war, and will continue doing so until the moment, and during its reconstruction. The war has brought many challenges but victory will bring many opportunities.
If there is a project or investment to be undertaken in Ukraine we are the ideal address for conducting it.
