The European Council's mid-December 2023 green light for Ukraine to pursue its EU membership ambitions marks a significant step towards the country's economic and political integration with the rest of Europe. It shifts the spotlight onto the tough challenges of attracting inward investment from EU-based companies that have a wealth of opportunities elsewhere. This conference is organised in partnership with Belgium's Egmont Institute and the Brussels-based European Business Summits, with the support of Belgium's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the European Commission. Building strong and resilient economic links between the European Union and Ukraine is as central to Europe's backing of the Kyiv government and the Ukrainian people. Key sectors of the Ukrainian economy will be discussed by corporate leaders with hands-on experience of doing business there while promoting the development of a greener Ukraine.

This conference aims to achieve two primary objectives: firstly, it serves as a platform for effective communication and keeping abreast of the latest developments, ensuring participants are well informed and connected, notably on the development of future instruments (such as insurance, funds, investment security). Secondly, the conference aims to foster invaluable connections and facilitate meaningful engagements between Ukrainians and Europeans. The emphasis here lies on practical business networking. Distinguished corporate leaders, possessing firsthand experience and expertise in conducting successful ventures within Ukraine, will engage in comprehensive discussions spotlighting key sectors of the Ukrainian economy.
