This year, the Forum will focus on practical solutions for the resilience, recovery and growth of Ukraine’s economy: how to attract capital amid the war and high risks, which programmes and financial instruments are already available to businesses, and what companies need to access them.
We will also discuss how Ukraine can compete for international capital and integrate into the European market; how businesses can meet the requirements of financial partners, respond to labour market changes and invest in human capital; and how Ukraine can combine energy resilience with the green transition.
