Our association is proud to be a part of the upcoming Ukraine's Future Summit on April 18th in Brussels, initiated by European Business Summits and Royal Institute for International Relations EGMONT and supported by the European Commission!

The conference will focus on EU efforts to foster investment in Ukraine's recovery and reconstruction. It will take advantage of the launch of the Pillar II of the Ukraine Facility — the new Ukraine Investment Framework. Key sectors of the Ukrainian economy will be discussed by high-level representatives of the EU institutions, governments, and International Financial Institutions as well as distinguished company leaders.

Two primary objectives are to be achieved: firstly, it serves as a platform for effective communication and keeping abreast of the latest developments, ensuring participants are well-informed and connected, and updated on the development of future instruments, notably under the EU's Ukraine Facility. Secondly, the conference aims to foster invaluable connections and facilitate meaningful engagements between EU-based and Ukrainian business communities.

UVCA Chairman Andriy Kolodyuk will be a speaker at a panel dedicated to Financial Markets for Ukraine’s Prosperity.

The financial sector has a critical role in providing the financial means within the broader context

of Ukraine's reconstruction: financial institutions have a crucial role in driving economic recovery. Currently, Ukraine's banking sector is focused on achieving stability and modernization, with EU-based and Ukrainian companies gearing up for collaborative efforts.

The envisioned path forward entails closer integration with the EU financial markets, increased investment, and thereby contributing to of s economic integration. Given the volatile nature of war-affected zones, comprehensive and robust investment insurance policies are imperative. These measures act as a safety net, providing reassurance to stakeholders and investors, political and war risk insurance, fostering stability amid the turbulent environment, and supporting the much-needed economic resurgence in Ukraine.
