Our Partners:
Ukraine’s reconstruction presents both opportunities and challenges for businesses and investors. Along with the envisaged EU-Membership of Ukraine the World Bank Group and the European Commission estimate that approximately USD 486 billion is required to rebuild infrastructure, stabilize the economy and drive growth. There is a wealth of financial support available from both governments and multilateral institutions. Among others Switzerland is going to contribute CHF5 billion, the European Union €50 billion under the Ukraine Facility. EBRD has deployed over €6 billion and raised €4 billion in paid-up capital for further investment.
For international entrepreneurs it is crucial to successfully navigate the regulatory complexities and ensure compliance and secure financial support.
This web workshop will bring together experts to discuss investment structuring, funding access and legal frameworks critical to rebuild Ukraine as a European member state.
