On March 21st, 2024, in Warsaw, Poland, the Ukrainian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (UVCA), in partnership with the Polish Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (PSIK) and Polish law firm Rymarz Zdort Maruta, is holding its main investment event of the year — the Ukrainian PE & VC Summit. The premier convention returns for the first time since 2021 to bring a comprehensive overview, the latest updates, and up-to-date developments about the Ukrainian investment landscape, its current challenges and opportunities.

Besides, we will discuss the current situation in various spheres of the Ukrainian economy, including sectors of key importance, as well as present proposals for immediate joint investment opportunities.
